The D.I. VII Forum in Shenzhen "Seven years' journey on Determination and Diligence"

 The D.I. VII Forum in Shenzhen "Seven years' journey on Determination and Diligence" has come to an end.

During the VII D.I. Forum our Dalton community from China had a unique opportunity to listen to the keynote speakers from Shenzhen and Wenzhou city government, Beijing Normal University and board members from Dalton International as they speak about the modern vision on Dalton Learning Culture and modern education paradigm.

The VII Dalton International Forum was certainly an unforgettable and enjoyable experience for all Dalton participants. This wonderful event was hosted by Shenzhen Dalton Xinhua School in cooperation with Dalton International, Nanshan District Educational Bureau and Beijing Normal University.

For those, who couldn’t be present during the Forum, don't miss this amazing opportunity to network with top Dalton leaders and innovators during Dalton International Symposium in Wenzhou 30th of June 2023 on "Supporting whole school well-being approaches in International Dalton Schools.”

Panel discussion during VII D.I. Forum in Shenzhen.

 We would like to invite all educators to the seventh Dalton International Forum, on 26^th of May in Shenzhen. Participants will have the unique opportunity to listen to keynote speeches concerning building a school’s Dalton culture. After the keynote speeches a panel discussion will take place. The discussion will be led by the host Amy Lu, the director of learning and curriculum from Shenzhen Dalton School and me.

The panel discussion will concern  intentional action, reflection along with principals that can shape the shared values of their school. We will try to discuss such issues as what makes a good school culture, how can  principals, teachers and parents have a unique power to shape their school’s culture.

We hope to see you there!

 

Our book in Chinese was published at Northeast Normal University.

  

We are thrilled to announce that the book of Roel Rohner and mine will be available to order during VII Dalton international Forum in Shenzhen on 26. May 2023. 

From the authors:

The book attempts to answer the questions such as:

What kind of education is needed for holistic development of the child? How can education respond to the challenges that current society faces?

This unprecedented Dalton book contains both theory and practice of the most important ideas, issues and thinkers within Dalton education. Its thirteen chapters are written by Dalton experts for both researchers and practitioners in a modern education. The book addresses both historical roots and philosophical foundations of Dalton education, but also engages with contemporary practical and innovative ideas to implement in the modern Dalton school, such as Learning with the use of “Spiral of Inquiry” model of Shirley Timperley along with the guide on how to design school’s efficient and sustainable Dalton culture. The book seeks to analyse such issues as:

  What is a nature of Dalton learning culture and why is it worth to create a common one? How to do it with the whole school community and why is it worth it? What kind of tools do we need to look in one direction?

Nowadays, scholars and educators need to rethink what kind of education it takes to bring forth a Dalton influence. This book presents the most profound reflections on Dalton philosophy.
