[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is much less teacher-in-front-teaching at Dalton vs. somewhere like St B or Trinity. Of course there are some instances of it, but it is not the majority of the lessons. These are obviously generalizations, but progressive teaching is usually more student-centered and and focused on experiential learning, while traditional teaching is more teacher-led and focused on memorization. Both the progressive schools (Dalton) and the traditional schools (St B) have some elements of both philosophies in their curriculum, so it is not surprising that you may have seen a teacher led lesson at Dalton during your visit. [/quote] This is very helpful, thanks. My inclination would be to want something in between progressive and traditional - the learning of practical skills with a deeper understanding in a structured environment. It's really hard to get a real feel of these school from their open houses and such.[/quote]
