We are delighted to share that Liina Malva, Lecturer in Special Education at Tallinn University’s School of Educational Sciences, has been awarded a Baltic “Women in Science” fellowship! 👏💙

The €7,000 fellowship recognises Liina’s research achievements to date and supports her continued research on mathematics learning difficulties and differentiated instruction. 🌱

💬 “To my knowledge, an educational researcher from Estonia has not previously received this fellowship, let alone a special education researcher. I therefore see it as recognition for the entire field – our work is being noticed and considered important both in academia and in society more broadly,” says Liina.

With the support of the fellowship, Liina will be able to further develop school-based research on mathematics learning difficulties and create better opportunities for teaching special education students at the university.

Warmest congratulations to Liina on this wonderful recognition! 💙✨

How do research-based educational innovations make their way from universities into schools and kindergartens? 🔎

On 22 September, TLU School of Educational Sciences welcomed Heather Lewis-Lechner, Education Policy Advisor to the Washington State Senate Democrats, and Tammie Schrader, an education and technology expert. The visit was organised in cooperation with Education Estonia.

💬 We talked about teacher education, school autonomy, educational reforms, teachers’ professional development, and the role of research in shaping education.

🤖 At the EDUSPACE lab, the guests also had the chance to explore and experience how technology and robotics can be integrated into everyday learning in schools and kindergartens.

💡 The visit highlighted several challenges shared by Estonia and the US – from student assessment to supporting teachers’ continuous professional development and the next generation of educators.

📚 Estonia continues to stand out in PISA – but what is behind its success?

In light of Estonia’s strong PISA results, French weekly L’Express takes a closer look at what makes the Estonian education system stand out in Europe. 🌍

Our Professor of Educational Leadership Eve Eisenschmidt was interviewed for the article, sharing her insights into the ideas and values behind Estonia’s educational success. She highlights a culture of continuous improvement, strong societal support for education, and trust in teachers and their professional autonomy. 👩‍🏫💡

As Eve points out, even when the results are excellent, Estonians tend not to spend too much time celebrating – the focus quickly turns to what we can do even better. 🚀🎓
