> Instruction is customized to individual learning styles and preferences and builds on learner strengths;

> Learning can take place anytime, everywhere utilizing a wide variety of delivery methods;

> Curriculum is dynamic, individually paced and acknowledges learner interests;

> Standards are rigorous, comprehensive and relevant; they provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, but do not dictate when or how students learn;

> Students are authentically engaged in their education experience; they co-create their own customized learning path;

> Teachers assume new roles (e.g. learning coordinators, facilitators and assessors) both individually and as part of instructional teams.

David Truss provides an excellent synopsis of Finland's educational system from this video, "Key Drivers of Educational Performance in Finland" presented by Pasi Sahlberg in April 2010.

 

Do not miss this video of Sahlberg's presentation as he reflects on why Finland has created the highest-ranking system in the world. At the end of this presentation, Sahlberg notes the future goals that Finland has for education; the top one being "Better Individual Learning Path".  

 

In his concluding remarks he articulates the importance of creativity: 

 

"This creativity aspect is very important because in Finland we believe that risk-taking, creativity and innovation are very, very important for a society like ours.  And particularly working in this global and globalized world it is more important than what you actually know and remember, it is more what you are and what you are capable of doing.”"
