A revolutionary approach for transforming
educational policy, processes, and practice! This compelling and
provocative volume makes clear that the old ways for effecting social and
educational change are no longer suited to the “fast, flexible, and vulnerable
new world of the 21st century.” The authors take readers on a revealing journey
through three ways of change that have defined global educational policy and
practice from the 1960’s to the present and offer a new Fourth Way that will
lead to remarkable reforms in student learning and
achievement. Finland is part of this journey.
