During the Summer 2025, Assistant Head of School and Interim High School Director and HPI Advisory Board member Shira Kohn and HS History Teacher and HPI Faculty Advisor Kevin Slick deepened ties with Dalton Tokyo Gakuen Junior & Senior High School through class observations and two days of faculty workshops centered on the Dalton Plan’s history and its impact, past and present. While their workshops provided models for Assignments and introduced Dalton New York traditions — such as First Program’s Multicultural Festival, the Middle School Greek Fest, and the High School Dance Theater Workshop — their most profound moments were in the Open Lab with fellow educators. At that time, colleagues came to ask questions about their own Assignments and about how The Dalton Plan bridges cultures and educational models, which opened dialogue and connection.
As one Tokyo Dalton administrator shared, “Thank you, Kevin and Shira, for such an engaging and enlightening workshop. I truly enjoyed learning more about how things are done at Dalton New York and was pleasantly surprised by how much we have in common — including some of the challenges we face. I’m deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness, time, and energy you put into preparing and leading these sessions. I’m heading into the summer break feeling inspired and full of new ideas to help me reflect on and improve my future Assignments in a way that aligns more closely with the spirit of Parkhurst and The Dalton Plan. It has been a great pleasure working with you and I'm looking forward to all of our future projects together!”
