Dalton training in Poland

On Saturday November 16th I worked with a group of 45 teachers from
all over Poland to give a training.

The Polish Dalton Association is selecting Dalton co-ordinators to assist with the Dalton implementation in Kindergarten and other schools.

After a presentation about the task of a Dalton co-ordinator, the colleagues worked in small groups and got much information from the
side of some Polish Dalton consultants.

Workshops and seminars in Poland

The coming days I am in Poland for several Dalton activities.
The Polish Dalton Association invited me to give a training for Dalton
co-ordinators. The number of schools who have started with the first implementation of Dalton education is still growing in this country.

Some of these new Dalton co-ordinators participated in the International Dalton Meeting at KPZ University last May.

In Warszawa I will work with three different groups of students at the APS University. This University is specialized in the training of teachers for special education. Dalton is a new element in their programm.
Finally I will give an introduction of Dalton education during a conference for teachers in 'Sroda Wielkopolska.

Reflection is an important topic that has to be integrated in all activities.

Message from Facebook

Dalton Teachers From Tokyo and Nagoya Visit Dalton NYC - First Program students and teachers said "Sayonara" to four Japanese teachers visiting us.

Our visitors spent two weeks visiting classrooms, museums, special events taking place at Dalton, and a variety of NYC landmarks.

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model  how to come to an inspiring leadership. 

It starts with the question "Why?"

Development of a logo

The first logo was a design of  Nol Manten, famous painter in Utrecht.
It was made to symbolise the integration of the Kindergarten 'De Merel' with the primary Dalton school "Juliana van Stolbergschool".
In 1985 the new fusion got the name "Dalton Basisschool Pieterskerkhof".

Later I suggested  the new founded Czech Dalton Association to use this logo.
Now the two birds were symbolising the co-operation between secondary and primary education.

When we founded  Dalton International we liked to use the freedom
of birds again. The birds are flying from the West to Europe and further.
From "The Dalton School" in New York,  the ideas of Helen Parkhurst were implemented in hundreds of schools all over Europe. But in other continents there are also important Dalton Schools such as "Ascham" in Sydney, famous Kindergarten in Tokio and Kobe.
The newest Dalton school can be found in Hongkong: "Little Dalton".
