Learning from the World
Countries with well-regarded education systems and high student achievement have plenty of lessons to teach the rest of the world's educators and education policymakers. Finland shows how to improve teacher quality and status, and in China, Shanghai schools found a way to make professional development more equitable.
Meanwhile, columnist Doug Reeves points out that there are many further, subtle lessons to be learned from educators in countries off the beaten path of PISA high-fliers. In Zambia, education leaders respect and incorporate local culture to aid its school reforms, while in Oman national policies actively address issues like peace, justice, and equity.
The ever-shrinking world can yield ideas and innovation for improving education for those who look and listen.
