Dalton and Project Based Learning for kindergarten, primary and secondary education.
3. Responsibility in theory and practice. The role of the teacher and a child, introducing scaffolding tools, such as : action guide, free choice assignment, contract, portfolio, diaries (mostly gratitude diaries).
4. Elements of Enquiry Based Learning- how to teach children asking the right questions, use of labs, to let the children share their learning experience with each other: “tell each other what you have researched”; ‘what is your discovery?” ‘what is/are the best solutions to the problem stated ?”; “rank the information you discovered by telling what are the most important for you personally?”.
We are looking forward to see you soon!
