Jackson Lecture with Professor Pasi Sahlberg Why the quality of Finland's education system can exceed the quality of its teachers April 17, 2014 Time: Thursday, April 17 - 7:00 - 8:30 PM Location: Isabel Bader Theatre The quality of teaching and educational change are major areas of public concern in Canada and around the world. Today many governments in search of a panacea to improve educational performance turn to teachers, believing that if only they could attract 'the best and the brightest' into the teaching profession, the quality of education would get better. In this year's R.W.B. Jackson Lecture, Dr. Pasi Sahlberg argues that having better teachers in schools will not automatically improve students' learning outcomes and that teachers alone cannot overcome the societal issues affecting children's opportunities to learn. Following a brief introduction to teacher policies in Finland, Dr. Sahlberg puts forward an intriguing question: Why the quality of Finland's education system can exceed the quality of its teachers.
