#11 In Teachers We Trust| Pasi Sahlberg |

Dubbed ‘the face of Finnish education abroad’, Pasi Sahlberg is a passionate educator, author and researcher. Currently, he’s the Professor of Education Policy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.  Pasi’s professional background is varied, but the common thread throughout his service is equity in education and trust in teachers. He has served as a Senior Education Specialist at the World Bank, as a Lead Education Expert at the European Training Foundation, as Director-General at Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture, and as a visiting Professor of Practice at Harvard University. He is the recipient of several awards for his lifelong service in education and also for his writing. It was hard to contain my excitement (and chatter) while speaking with Pasi. In this podcast the themes discussed were: The concept of trust and how it works in schools. How to build a trust-based culture within a school. How Finland emerged as a trust-based education system after years of top-down control. Inequality and inequity in Australian and Finnish education. Accountability in education. A conversation that’s sure to get you thinking about trust in education and how it transpires in a variety of settings.
