Leeds
'Building brighter futures in Leeds', this is te title
of a great brochure covering an ambitious target:
"We will work together to make sure every child and young
person has the opportunity to achieve their potential
because every child matters".
CHILDREN LEEDS
This is one of the many aspects that inspired me during
our visit in Leeds.
The department
'EDUCATION LEEDS' hosted our delegation and gave us
the opportunity to visit several schools.
Together with Chris Edwards, Jenny Hill and Jody Driver
we discussed the possibility to organize an international
conference in which Dalton will be connected to aspects
like 'Global learning'.

Dalton Laboratory Plan
It is a great challenge to start a pilot in order
to design a 'Dalton Laboratory School' based on the
original structure Helen Parkhurst describes in her
brochure
An explanation of The Dalton Laboratory Plan.

Effective instruction
Under the Dalton Plan the teacher's principal job is to
instruct or teach by answering the questions asked by
individual children or by groups of children.
The teacher does not attempt to throw information into
their minds as one shovels coal into a furnace, but rather
studies their needs to discover what she/he can do and what
she/he should know in order to help their research.

Dalton, do it differently
Hans Wenke and I wrote a new book.
'Dalton, doe het eens anders' is a very practical book with lots of action guides, didactical structures and examples of 'free choice assignments' based on multiple intelligences.

Dalton International
In the new policy planning 2009 - 2012 of the Dutch Dalton Association
the co-operation with Dalton International is still not mentioned.
Chapter 9 - Internationalisation - is a demonstration of a non - strategy.
Many schools are far ahead of this narrow minded thinking, and have much more international outlook.
Co-operation, one of the premises of Dalton, is one of the main targets of
Dalton International and gives a wider view on education.
Ignoring the worldwide Dalton network is a typical example of Dutch presumption.
