On the occasion of Helen Parkhurst birthday, we are delighted to announce the Dalton International Café, which will take place on 8th March 2023 on Zoom Platform. This day the whole Dalton community will celebrate the 137th birthday of Helen Parkhurst.
Our board member, Rene Berends will speak about his book titled “Helen Parkhurst, the founder of the Dalton Plan”, which will be very soon published in English.
The speech of Rene will shed a light on the vision on Dalton education in a contemporary American society as well as the image of contemporary Dalton Plan implementation in The Netherlands.
Rene will examine the life of a legendary educator Helen Parkhurst, who has figured prominently in American education at the beginning of XX century, in the era of a progressive school. She pioneered child centered vision on education and revolutionized the classroom, by breaking up with lockstep teaching.
During the webinar, the guests will also have the opportunity to listen to our President, Roel Röhner speaking about the modern vision of Helen Parkhurst in International Dalton Schools across the world.
Don’t miss the chance!
