<p> <strong> Dalton pedagogy in international focus: successful congress in Wenzhou </strong> </p>
In November, around 500 teachers and students gathered in the Chinese city of Wenzhou for the international Dalton congress. Two prominent representatives of the Austrian Dalton community also took part in this special event: Simone Reichenberger, the headmistress of the De la Tour Schools Deutschlandsberg, as well as Ruth Knox, the head of the de la Tour Schools Seiersberg. Both shared their valuable insights into the Dalton pedagogy.
The congress offered a platform for the exchange about the importance of social learning in schools. In a joint session, Reichenberger and Knox emphasized how Dalton pedagogy can help to prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The promotion of independence, responsibility and cooperation is the focus of the teaching methods.
insights into the Dalton pedagogy
Dalton pedagogy is an innovative concept that focuses on the individual development and self-organization of the students. It was developed to encourage learners to actively take responsibility for their own educational path. This is done through independent work that helps the students develop meaningful skills in dealing with their learning environment.
"We are really overwhelmed by the hospitality and the high priority of education, which became visible through this congress. The exchange of knowledge and experience is enormously enriching and shows us how universal and timelessly the principles of Dalton pedagogy are," explained Simone Reichenberger. Their commitment and encouragement that teachers received worldwide were impressive.
Ruth Knox added the positive experiences with the words: "The event, and especially the event location, exceeded all of our expectations. It was an incredibly enriching experience to get together with so many passionate educators from all over the world." The Wenzhou Dalton Elementary School, the venue, was only founded in 2017 and has already established itself as an important meeting point for education innovation, with 862 pupils and 120 teachers.
In summary, it can be said that the International Dalton Congress was not only a platform for specialist knowledge, but also a way for teachers from different parts of the world to work together on the improvement of teaching methods and to learn from each other. This exchange helps to further spread the principles of Dalton pedagogy and to adapt globally, which is of great importance for the future of education.A deeper analysis on the subject of Dalton pedagogy and other international developments can be found in a detailed report on www.meinbezirk.at .
