Finnish teachers have been the focus of interest of the international media, public decision makers and politicians as well as researchers into teaching. The results of Finnish pupils in PISA have encouraged many people to inquire about the characteristics and atmosphere of Finnish schools, especially the working conditions, as well as the enthusiastic, committed orientation of Finnish teachers. This chapter describes the work of Finnish teachers, their pedagogical responsibilities and freedom related to their role as well as their pedagogical thinking at the background of their everyday work in classrooms with pupils. Finnish teachers participate in the administrative and the pedagogical decision-making processes of their own schools as well as at the various levels of the Finnish school system; they are able to influence their work, and thus, they have broad pedagogical freedom and also broad responsibilities related to these role tasks. Finnish teachers manage their work as teachers and educators by negotiating, dialogue, a democratic way of pedagogical thinking and acting in challenging situations. These ways of working are based on a certain kind of ethos, which is mainly characterized by hope and trust among teachers, principals, and administrators. This kind of ethos provides additional support for successful teaching. Finnish teachers are committed to learning, participation and active agency in their pedagogy, in their collaborations with various people as well as active participation in questions related to schooling and education. Their academic, masterâs level teacher education as well as their societal role encourage them to act according to this manner. Although Finnish teachers are committed to their work, recent research and reports of teacherâs trade organizations have shown that they also feel inadequate and exhausted by their work.
