DALTON’SPLAN Dalton teaching aids help to enable the implementation of The Dalton Plan pedagogical education technique. Instead of the traditional classroom model, learning takes place through experience and action. The focus is on the individual work of students while the teacher’s role is to guide students and meet their various educational needs. The Dalton Plan allows the teacher to adjust the pace of learning to real predispositions of children. It teaches them to rely on themselves, to take action and to think independently. Children develop a sense of responsibility and they are motivated to search for the best and simplest work strategies. When creating the teaching aids for the Dalton Plan technique, the visual aspcet is crutial. The visualisation is extremely valuable and effective.
