NICE TO MEET YOU

I will be traveling to Finland, Sweden, and the Baltics. My focus will be on connecting with educators on an international level to help me better understand their education systems and adopt innovative strategies that ensure a child-centered focus for my kindergarten classroom. Finland’s education system is internationally renowned for having a high level of trust in both teachers and students that truly take charge of their educational trajectory. Due to Finland’s highly successful education system, surrounding areas have adopted some of their practices. Thus, it will be beneficial to see and experience how Sweden integrates some of Finland’s approaches to education for me to be able to do the same in my classroom. I’m curious to better understand how Finland has mastered shorter school days while maintaining high success rates in preparing students at a young age to truly love learning by always being an active participant.
