    School for life. School of successful learning for all, Slovakia
    We are small rural primary school with less than 60 pupils, in a village of 1450 inhabitants. Though based in a two centuries old church building, for 12 years we are developing here a modern family school for productive life and happy contented children. We run only 1st to 4th grades - for children aged 6 to 10, nearly one quarter of them with SEN and 5 of them with mild mental disorders.
    Although this picturesque school building has Our little
    several maintenance drawbacks, our children are close to nature, both inside and outside as if "at granny's house". The school atmosphere and our achievements attract parents from the nearby town as well.

    Being the first Dalton School in our country, we
    have founded the Association of Slovak Dalton
    Schools. In the Dalton activities and during the
    whole teaching/learning process we strive to
    build a positive and creative mood, which
    supports joyful learning. Our vision is In the classroom responsible freedom of the pupils, self-reliance
    and collaboration: each child is an active, independent and creative learner.
    Our pupils learn in an environment which is
    rich of digital technologies that: are being
    used as a means to support our educational
    goals; help us to create innovative learning
    environments for children to experience
    opportunities for complex personal develop- Dalton activities on Fridays ment; support higher order thinking and skills
    including communication, creativity and collaboration - in a joyful authentic atmosphere of self-discovery within learning.
    We regularly run in projects involving ICT. E.g., in
    the Journey to Fairyland children in groups
    choose a folk tale, then stage it and animate
    using Lego bricks. They distribute the roles Adam: Me and my computer among themselves, elaborate the script, design
    and build the stage, light it, and finally use stop motion animation to capture the whole story frame by frame. They value the final product so much! Through it they boost their confidence and build a positive picture of themselves - beyond any expectations. It illustrates our strategy and goals of integrating ICT into their learning process in the most complex, seamless, productive and humane way.
