educationr-1911	Pivovarova, Margarita; Geiger, Tray J	Review of Pasi Sahlberg’s “Finnish Lessons 2.0: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland?”	2015	8	.pdf	application/pdf	2325	97	48	Sahlberg says that transplanting Finnish educators into the U.S. would not result in the same success in the U.S. as in Finland as Finnish teachers would be severely limited in utilizing their skill and passion due to the education policies in the U.S. Chapter four situates the Finnish education system into the context of the Global Educational Reform Movement, or GERM (which, given the context of the book, could allude to real germs in education systems across the globe). Another major and related theme of the book is the contrast of market-based policy initiatives in education that are prevalent in many advanced countries, including England and the United States, such as accountability policies that focus on standardized testing, school choice and competition, and paying teachers for their performance (really, for their students’ test scores) versus education systems that fully exploit the social and human nature of the teaching profession and rely on carefully selected, trained and motivated teachers.	cache/educationr-1911.pdf	txt/educationr-1911.txt
