...Yet in Finland there are no high stakes tests and teachers are rarely evaluated...


...The puzzle: why Finland?

About the film:

Documentary film maker, Bob Compton (of "2 Million Minutes" acclaim), along with Harvard researcher, Dr. Tony Wagner (author of the best-seller "The Global Achievement Gap") decided to find out. The result is "The Finland Phenomenon: Inside the World's Most Surprising School System," an up-close and analytical film about building a world-class education which thoroughly prepares all students for careers and citizenship in the 21st century. In the 60 minute film, Tony Wagner gives us an inside look at the world's finest education system and reveals surprising factors accounting for Finland's #1 ranking.
