Norway’s Physical Geography Reaches into the Arctic Circle Glaciers Fjords – flooded glacial valleys “Land of the Midnight Sun” Winter – sun shines 2 hrs/day Summer – sun shines 20+ hrs/day 4 minute video of drone over Norway and Iceland

Norway’s Human Geography Population: 5 million (75% live near the coast in cities) Economy: Wealthy with lots of oil & natural gas, fishing industry using trawlers – ships that tow large nets Government: parliamentary democracy with a monarchy Capital: Oslo

Scandinavian Vikings in the AD 700s Seafaring pirates and invaders in Northern Europe Sailed longships across the Atlantic Ocean and up European rivers to raid cities Followed pagan religions with many gods and ancient myths 11 minute John Green crash course on Vikings history – start 40 seconds in – first part is a waste…

Norwegian Culture Skiing, snowmobiling Food: Fish, almond cookies Salmon, Kransekake, rommegrot

Sweden Wealthy, industrialized Welfare capitalism Lots of natural resources (iron, lumber) Welfare capitalism high taxes to provide services to people who are sick, needy, jobless, or retired Constitutional monarchy Capital: Stockholm Population: 10 million (mostly in southern cities) The Royal Family of Sweden is very popular among Swedes and liked by everyone. They consists of King Carl XVI Gustaf, born 1946, Queen Silvia, born 1943, Crown Princess Victoria, born 1977, Prince Carl Philip, born 1979, and Princess Madeleine, born 1982.

Finland Lumber – spruce, pine, & birch forests in the north Heavy industry – manufacturing machinery Most Finns are of Russian ancestry, not Scandinavian Capital: Helsinki Population: 5.5 million (live in towns on the southern coast)

Finland’s Culture Cross-country skiing Saunas – wooden rooms heated by water sizzling on hot stones 6-min Online textbook video – start at 3:20 -5:54 to just watch about reindeer They decided to invest heavily in teacher recruitment and teacher preparation. By design, they made the colleges of education a highly elite program where only the top university students were accepted with all expenses paid. There is a one-year residency under a top teacher for graduates. All teachers have master’s degrees related to their teaching assignments. They make it impossible to hire a bad teacher. There are no fast-track, short-cut, temporary teachers. There is no Teach for Finland. Trust is the key word that comes from politicians, parents, academicians, and unions – after a top notch teacher training for top ranked students; trust rules. And they put in the hands of these skilled, career educators the tools, technology and time to collaborate, design, intervene and assess instruction, teaching and learning on the school building level. (There are no state standardized tests except for the one at the end of 6th grade to guide intensive support to students to learn and the other at the end of high school to determine placement in higher education should you choose to attend.) They have the support staff they need to personalize the learning experience with tutors and nurses and psychologists and librarians and counselors. The principals in these schools are teachers, and they are required to teach at least one class. They are colleagues with the faculty and staff. The parents and students are included in the learning process. There is a natural bridge – a true relationship – between home and school. The design is comprehensive. Universal preschool is available to all, and well over 90% of families take advantage of it. For high school students who qualify, universities and trade schools are free. Students know that if they work hard, high education is waiting for them. None of their families lose sleep, as our families do, over crushing college debt.
