Our happy customers say
The study tour was an amazing experience! All the hosts were great - highly qualified and experienced - and learning was multiplied because of the time we spent with them, especially during the lunch hour. They were open to all kinds of queries. The schools were carefully chosen and each one provided us with a different experience. Through on-field observations, we were better able to understand the pedagogy at work. I was impressed by the way the study tour was organized and I believe I learnt from it as much as from the actual content of the tour. We brought back with us everlasting memories of a beautiful country and the amazing people who live in it. I wish Learning Scoop and its team all the best in its journey of sharing knowledge.
The past week was amazing and the best professional development I have ever attended. Being able to have a more back and forth discussion and have all of our questions answered made it so valuable. We found the entire week and the information presented to be very well organized with a warm touch! Everyone at all the schools were so welcoming and so willing to share all of their ideas. We enjoyed every minute of the week and are excited to share. Many, many thanks for a wonderful week. We hope to see you again for more training!
I loved my week attending lectures and visiting schools in Finland. One can read articles and books about the Finnish education system, but nothing is better than being physically immersed in it. The balance of lectures and school visits enhanced exposure to the system, I particularly appreciated
being in classrooms and having the opportunity to speak with students and teachers. Our school visits were comprehensive. The Wednesday evening walk and meal in the forest was a highlight of the study tour. The enjoyment of nature is an integral part of Finnish culture and we witnessed how accessible this is. Thank you to Learning Scoop for a wonderful experience in Finland.
