<div><font face="Times" size="+1" color="#000000">ABSTRACT: In
response to my post "Finnishing Touches" at
<http://bit.ly/Ixkqa7>, education guru Kenneth Bernstein
<http://huff.to/gAtYnU> (aka "teacherken") pointed out
in an EDDRA2 post that he had reviewed Sahlberg's "Finnish
Lessons" <http://bit.ly/JpU9fD> in a "Daily Kos"
article at <http://bit.ly/IqrByq>. Bernstein ends his
knowledgeable review by quoting Sahlberg:<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Times" size="+1" color="#1B1B1B">"As a
countervailing force against the global educational reform movement
driving school systems around the world, the Finnish Way reveals that
creative curricula, autonomous teachers, courageous leadership, and
high performance go together. The Finnish Way furthermore makes
plain that collaboration, not conflict, with teachers unions leads to
better results. The evidence is clear and so should be the road
ahead.</font><font face="Times" size="+1" color="#000000">"<br>

"This book is a wake-up call for the United States. Finland went
from mediocre academic results to one of the top performers in the
world. And they did it with unions, minimal testing, national
collaboration, and elevating teaching to a high-status calling. This
is the antidote to the NCLB paralysis."</font></div>
