Hello everyone,before aenswring the three questions, we have to know this about Finland style education.Listen ..What makes the Finnish school system so amazing is that Finnish students never take a standardized test until their last year of high school, when they take a matriculation examination for college admission. Their own teachers design their tests, so teachers know how their students are doing and what they need. There is a national curriculum—broad guidelines to assure that all students have a full education—but it is not prescriptive. Teachers have extensive responsibility for designing curriculum and pedagogy in their school. They have a large degree of autonomy, because they are professionals.Admission to teacher education programs at the end of high school is highly competitive; only one in 10—or even fewer—qualify for teacher preparation programs. All Finnish teachers spend five years in a rigorous program of study, research, and practice, and all of them finish with a masters' degree. Teachers are prepared for all eventualities, including students with disabilities, students with language difficulties, and students with other kinds of learning issues. The school are rich in the arts, in play, and in activity.My friend( who visited the school with ACLE) saw beautiful campuses, including some with outstanding architecture, filled with light.She saw small classes; although the official class size for elementary school is 24,she never saw a class with more than 19 children (and that one had two assistant teachers to help children with special needs).Teachers and principals repeatedly told her that the secret of Finnish success is trust. Parents trust teachers because they are professionals. Teachers trust one another and collaborate to solve mutual problems because they are professionals. Teachers and principals trust one another because all the principals have been teachers and have deep experience.TRUST and PROFESSIONALISM words in Italy that you can find on the dictionary not at school!!!!!!!What do you think
