Title     : Teach Like Findland

Author : Timothy D. Walker

Pages : 270

Easy to implement classroom lessons from the world’s premier educational system.

Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests touted for evaluating critical-thinking skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001 but even today this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing produce students who match the PISA scores of high powered, stressed out kids in Asia?

When Timothy D. Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes of Finland’s schools. Walker wrote about several of those discoveries, and his Atlantic articles on this subject became hot topics of conversation. Here, he gathers all he learned and reveals how any teacher can implement many of Finland's best practices.

Remarkably, Finland is prioritizing the joy of learning in its newest core curricula and Walker carefully highlights specific strategies that support joyful K-12 classrooms and integrate seamlessly with educational standards in the United States.

From incorporating brain breaks to offering a peaceful learning environment, this book pulls back the curtain on the joyful teaching practices of the world's most lauded school system.His message is simple but profound: these Finland-inspired strategies can be used in the U.S. and other countries.No educator or parent of a school-aged child will want to miss out on the message of joy and change conveyed in this book.

“[Walker] provides an engaging and eye-opening vision that does not pit America against Finland, but lets us see what we can learn from each other. For teachers and education advocates who would like to understand one instructor's reflective quest toward educational improvement.”

Walker offers realistic tips on creating joyful schools, arranged according to five 'ingredients' of happiness: well being, belonging, autonomy, mastery and mindset. The tips are prefaced with lively anecdotes from the author's own classroom experiences and often reveal how he overcame American biases to embrace them. They all highlight how we can learn to value happiness more than achievement. More joy in classrooms and less work for teachers as the way to improving student learning?Sounds incredible, but the Finns have figured it out, and Tim Walker explains how American educators can do the same in this engaging and important book. Teach Like Finland deserves to be widely read and discussed.

Learning will run very pleasant if the teacher who functions as a facilitator can provide this atmosphere and government support that is very enthusiastic about education will create a more advanced education in Indonesia. and I hope education in Indonesia always gets attention from the government from all aspects so as to create a more advanced education.

I recommend this book to be read by a teacher and prospective teacher. Thankyou for visit in my blog ☺
