International Praise for Previous Editions of Finnish Lessons!
"Finland’s approach to education reform shows we must address
student inequality before we can expect student excellence." - The
2013 Grawemeyer Award Committee
"For both educators and non-educators alike, Finnish Lessons 2.0
poses provocative ideas for reflection when contemplating the
necessary inputs that contribute to educational success." -
Teachers College Record
"The story of Finnish educational success as told by Sahlberg in
the slim volume Finnish Lessons is remarkable…this is an important
book and educators need to read it." - Educational Researcher
"Finnish Lessons 2.0 is compelling and well-written. It will be of
particular interest to those involved in developing education
policy, although the book is also highly accessible and should be
recommended reading for principals, teachers and parents—even in
Finland." - Limina: A Journal of Historical and Cultural
Studies
"Sahlberg’s work is enlightening in that it espouses an education
system that is different from many other systems in advanced
countries across the world and provides solid background on the
historical context that allowed Finland’s education system to
transform into a powerhouse." - Education Review
"If you are interested in how to help your students be better
citizens and part of a dynamic society, please read Finnish lessons
2.0." - British Journal of Educational Technology
"What I find encouraging in Sahlberg’s book is his recurring note
that no matter how dismal a country’s system may seem, there is
hope and room for reform." - Philippine Daily Inquirer
"Sahlberg’s book contains important lessons for a broad range of
academics, educators, politicians, and the public." - Science
"This book will give hope, vision, and strategies to anyone who is
sincere in bringing a great education to every child. Pick it up
and read it." - Education Week's BookMarks
"With Version 3.0 of Finnish Lessons, Pasi Sahlberg has made yet
another invaluable contribution to creating education policies
based on teacher professionalism, trust, respect, equality, and
student engagement. The Finnish example offers a real alternative
to the punitive education accountability systems found in far too
many parts of the world. Every policymaker, parent, and teacher
should read this book." - Tony Wagner, senior research fellow,
Learning Policy Institute
