ED 563: Education in Finland & Sweden
Dr. Sudsberry’s program at Butler University
We worked together with Dr. Marilyn Sudsberry to give her students the opportunity to investigate the differences between Finland and Sweden’s educational systems firsthand. Together, we helped meet the standards of Butler University’s Experiential Program for Preparing School Principals during her program abroad. Key teaching moments included meetings with the former Finnish Minister of Education, current educators and local community members.
