  • A Short History of Educational Reform in Finland
    A short history of educational reform in Finland Pasi Sahlberg1, PhD [email protected] April 2009 1 The views expressed in this chapter are those of the author alone and do not necessarily represent those of the European Training Foundation or any of the European Union institutions. - 1 - Abstract Finland, a democratic welfare state and the northernmost member of the European Union is an example of a nation that has been able to transform its traditional economy into a modern knowledge economy within relatively short period of time. Education has played important role in this process. This chapter argues that system-wide excellence in student learning is attainable at reasonable cost, using education policies differing from conventional market- oriented reform strategies prevalent in many other countries. Unlike many other education systems, test-based accountability and externally determined learning standards have not been part of Finnish education policies. Relying on data from international student assessments, indicators and earlier policy studies, this chapter describes how steady improvement in student learning has been attained through Finnish education policies based on equity, flexibility, creativity, teacher professionalism, and mutual trust. The conclusion is that educational reform in Finland has been built upon ideas of good leadership that place an emphasis on teaching and learning, encouraging schools to craft optimal learning environments and implement educational content that best helps their students reach the general goals of schooling, and professional leadership of schools. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pasi Sahlberg has worked since June 2007 as a Lead Education Specialist at the European Training Foundation, Torino, Italy. He was previously teacher, teacher educator, policy-maker and director in various positions in Finland before moving to work with World Bank in Washington, DC in 2003.

I am pleased to submit the Municipal Pension Reporting Program’s (formerly the Public Employee Retirement Commission) biennial report on the status of the commonwealth’s local government pension plans for your review and information. Similar to prior years, my department will be providing additional analysis of this data in early 2021. Pennsylvania’s pension plans for local government employees in total represent one of the largest retirement systems in the nation. Currently, there are more than 3,300 local government pension plans in Pennsylvania and the number continues to grow. Unfortunately, the struggle to properly fund the plans also continues to grow. Many municipalities face financial hardships as well as the reality of more retired members drawing from pension plans than active members contributing to the plans. This status report provides a snapshot of the condition of local government pension plans throughout the commonwealth. Reported data shows that 98 percent of the pension plans in Pennsylvania are considered small (fewer than 100 members).

  • I Ntegrated C Ommunity S Ustainability P
    I ntegrated C ommunity ustainability S P lan GUIDE ICSP Options and Content Requirements April 2009 Department of Municipal Affairs Newfoundland and Labrador 1 ICSP OPTIONS As identified in the ICSP Framework, municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador have 3 main options to choose from when developing an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). They are: 1. Municipal Plan ICSP – is the most costly and in-depth approach but would provide the plan with legislative authority. 2. Stand-Alone ICSP – is a possibly costly option but it gives the municipality complete control over the goals and objectives. 3. Collaborative ICSP – is the most cost effective option and has the added benefit of guaranteeing that where appropriate partners are working toward common goals. This guide is divided into three sections to provide specific details for each of the three ICSP options available. Note that the guide outlines the required content of an ICSP but it does not provide a step-by-step process . The specifics of the process must be developed by each municipality to address their individual situation. For the purposes of this guide the term “municipality” will include Inuit Community Governments. KEY COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL ICSP The ICSP is designed to be a comprehensive planning document that is constantly referred to and updated as necessary to keep it relevant and useful. By following the Ten Steps outlined in the Framework along with the specific aspects outlined in the appropriate section of this ICSP Guide, municipalities should be able to develop effective and efficient plans. Every ICSP, regardless of the option, should contain the following vital components : • Public participation in the decision making process.

  • Finnish and Portuguese Parents' Perspectives on the Role Of
    education sciences Article Finnish and Portuguese Parents’ Perspectives on the Role of Teachers in Parent-Teacher Partnerships and Parental Engagement Cristiana Levinthal 1,* , Elina Kuusisto 2 and Kirsi Tirri 1 1 Department of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, 00100 Helsinki, Finland; kirsi.tirri@helsinki.fi 2 Faculty of Education and Culture, Tampere University, 33100 Tampere, Finland; elina.kuusisto@tuni.fi * Correspondence: cristiana.levinthal@helsinki.fi Abstract: The current educational reforms in Finland and Portugal require a holistic engagement of parents with learning, bringing parents and teachers together as partners. This qualitative study, which interviewed Finnish (N = 10) and Portuguese (N = 9) parents, aimed to explore parents’ views on the role of teachers in supporting parent–teacher partnerships and parental engagement with the school. Inductive content analysis was performed to analyze the interviews. From a general stand- point, three patterns were found in the parents’ narratives about the role of teachers in supporting partnership and engagement: communication, professionalism, and invitations to active parental participation. From a cross-cultural standpoint, Finnish parents evidenced partnerships and engage- ment grounded in little face-to-face contact but consistent online communication with the teacher, as well as trust in their professionalism and independent work. The Portuguese parents revealed rather frequent active participation within the school premises, more recurrent face-to-face communication with the teacher, and appreciation for teachers’ timely responses and support. Recommendations Citation: Levinthal, C.; Kuusisto, E.; Tirri, K. Finnish and Portuguese for a holistic approach of engagement and partnerships were brought forward within the context of Parents’ Perspectives on the Role of teacher education, such as the need to maintain simple but regular communication with parents and Teachers in Parent-Teacher the relevance of reconsidering the frequency of parental activities in the school.
