Hi, I am a Head Start teacher in Florida and am reading The Flat World and Education by Linda Darling-Hammond. The chapter that peaked my interest was Steady Work: How Countries Build Strong Teaching and Learning Systems. Quoting, "nearly half of teachers' school time is used to hone practice through school-based curriculum work, collective planning and cooperation with parents, which allows schools and families to work closely together on behalf of students. Since Finland is one of th success stories in education, I would like to find out the particulars on how Finnish teachers sustain a partnership with families in supporting student learning. Being a Head Start teacher, the family component is very important to a successful program, therefore I am always looking for ways to improve. How do I find more information on this topic other than "google".
