In this episode of Testing, Testing, we explore two very different classrooms - one in Calgary, Canada, and one in Tampere, Finland. One student is prepping for a high-stakes exam. The other is designing a wellness program for their peers. What do these stories tell us about how we assess learning?

We explore how Finland’s trust-based, student-centered approach compares to Canada’s structured, exam-driven system. Are we preparing students for life - or just measuring how well they take tests? And what would it look like to design assessments that are both fair and meaningful?

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or just curious about the future of education, this episode will get you thinking.
