Ways of engaging parents in the Dalton process at school: working session

Yesterday, we have restarted the trainings for Wenzhou Dalton Elementary School. The subject of the session concerned the ways of engaging parents in the Dalton process at school. We have discussed together with the group of mentors and Dalton coordinators the ways of making parents familiar with the Dalton philosophy. With a strong idea of what children ought to obtain from their school experience parents in Wenzhou Dalton School are expected to become active participants in the Dalton process. By building connections between home and school, Dalton education is aimed mainly at reinforcing the learning experience and make transition from preschool to home. In order to achieve this, we have worked out the schedule for parent’s Dalton academy for the upcoming year, including following activities: school community meetings, Dalton “open hours” for parents, Dalton brochures, engaging parents in projects, etc. We firmly believe that by combining our efforts we help children and parents grow into their own Dalton development and look in the same direction.
