Timothy Walker, who spent two years teaching at a school in Helsinki, claims that the foundation of all Finnish students’ achievements lies in a simple principle: the learning process should bring joy. A short school day, minimal homework, and limited testing are just the external components of successful education.
In his book, Walker explains why it is important to discuss grades with students, how giving them choices and involving them in joint planning helps them become more independent, why an abundance of visual materials on the walls leads to decreased academic performance, and why teachers need to play with children during recess.
