I’m continuing to spread the Reform Symposium inspiration and professional development through a blog post series here! Today I’m sharing a fabulous opening Keynote from the Reform Symposium about the history of Finnish Education by Timo Ilomäki and Aki Puustinen. I continue to be amazed at the educational approach and model in Finland. If you aren’t familiar with Finnish education I urge you to view the recorded keynote and follow-up with some Googling of “Education + Finland”.
The keynote was really fantastic. I loved catching a glimpse of what education looks like in other parts of the world and this was no exception. We have so much to learn from and with each other. My favorite portion of the keynote was when one of Timo Ilomäki and Aki Puustinen’s students answered questions from educators around the world. Even if you can only catch part of the keynote, definitely make sure to catch that portion at the end!
