Wenzhou Dalton Elementary school since January 2020 is attending the regular training of the
team of teachers. The digital platform built in the school together with Dalton
International is a tool to exchange expertise and develop the school´s own
vision on responsibility, freedom, independency and cooperation. The first
webinars focused mainly on tailoring the program of each student to match
student´s interests and abilities, promoting independence and enhancing
student´s social skills along with sense of responsibility towards the others.
During the course teachers are studying Dalton philosophy, child development
and psychology in the comfort of their homes with interactive online components
that include videos, texts, forums where they can chat with mentors and each
other.
The specially adjusted program for the school will be realized for three
academic years, the process is coordinated by Executive director of Dalton International,
Agata Sowinska. Next course start date is April 29. The school is currently
following a process of becoming International Dalton School.
