It also includes case studies of students who have benefited from the Dalton Plan, as well as critiques of traditional educational methods.Overall, Education On The Dalton Plan is a seminal work in the field of progressive education and a must-read for anyone interested in alternative approaches to teaching and learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
