Summary
Inspired by Finland’s student-first approach, Copper Island Academy in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula prioritizes inclusion, early intervention, and teacher autonomy to create a learning environment where support is built into the classroom rather than siloed in separate rooms. This episode explores how Copper Island blends Finnish pedagogy with local culture, showing what’s possible when schools design systems around people, not paperwork.
