In just 30 years, Finland transformed its school system from one that was mediocre and inequitable, to one that consistently produces some of the world's best students, while virtually eliminating an achievement gap. And they do it without standardized testing.
Part one of Dan Rather Reports' show on Finland's education system looks inside Finnish schools to examine the practices behind the so-called "Finnish miracle." Part two features an interview with Linda Darling-Hammond on what the U.S. can learn from Finland's success.
The entire show is available for download on iTunes.
