To Teach Responsibility, Bring Back the Dalton Plan.
Edwards, June
Phi Delta Kappan, v72 n5 p398-401 Jan 1991
The Dalton Plan, developed by Helen Parkhurst in the 1920s, completely restructured the secondary school day into subject labs, with students determining their daily schedules. Eschewing the usual bell-driven, factory worker model, this approach abolished traditional classrooms and homework and allowed students to select monthly contracts and daily assignments. Includes five references. (MLH)
