Finnish Lessons is a comprehensive book about how Finland built a world-class education
system during the past three decades. The author explains how education policies in Finland differ
from those in other industrialized countries. Rather than relying on competition, school choice, and
external testing of students, education reforms in Finland focus on professionalizing teachers' work,
developing instructional leadership in schools, and enhancing trust in teachers and schools. The book
details the complexity of educational change and encourages educators and policy makers to develop
effective solutions for their own districts and schools.
