Linda Darling Hammond was the choice of many education leaders for the post that fell to Arne Duncan (known more to Obama for his jump shot than his educational expertise), Secretary of Education. In this important article in Rethinking Schools, LDH explores the educational system of Finland and the possible use of those systems in the U.S. A “must read” for those seeking alternatives to the current morass of U.S. education policy. Probably not the only solution, but well worth the look!
Thanks to Monty Neill of FairTest for the heads-up.
