New Dalton initiative in Poland
Yesterday I've got this message from Dorota Olejnik, Śmigiel - Poland
We catched up the concept of
the Dalton Plan after a visit in the ABIS school in Łódź. Since two years in our State Primary School in Śmigiel. Four classes have worked according
to the Dalton Plan. We are satisfied because our
pupils want to learn. They do their duties
with big responsibility; they also choose tasks on their own. They plan
their job and can cooperate with other pupils. For us teachers also it’s big pleasure
and satisfaction. We will participate in conference in WWSSE in Środa Wielkopolska
in two weeks.
We hope that someday
there will be an opportunity to meet in Śmigiel.
