Document Summary
Lecture 16 finnishing school: where less is more positive motivational factors in school, 15-year-olds given tests to see who is being prepared best for the workforce, quebec didn"t do great, finland did the best. Less holiday breaks: high stakes testing, highly value teaching as a profession, american schools try to use singapore to learn how to change. Improving our schools: united states trends, extrinsic motivation is the focus. Stability is helpful: no grades until age 12. Still get feedback on their performance but no grades to compare you to others or a standard: no gifted classes. No special groups or classes for kids who are doing better. Those who are picking it up faster help the kids who don"t: no uniforms, teacher by first name, no special prizes, awards, money for teachers or students, recess every hour, not a lot of homework.
