EDITORS’ NOTES
(1) Look Who’s on a POOGI!
By Kay Buckner-Seal, Cheryl A. Edwards
“In helping others,
we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and
comes back to us.” —Flora Edwards
The TACTics Journal is a publication for and by TOC for Education practitioners. We, the editors through our readers, continually strive to make this journal a publication that celebrates our successes and one that provides us with the latest knowledge. Much of the knowledge comes from the experiences of educators like you, educators who are actually using the tools and theories in real situations. Through TACTics, we learn from each other.
However, in order for us to learn from each other, we must share. There seems to be many obstacles preventing us from sharing. What are they? How can we overcome them? Yes, you’re right, we need to work on an Ambitious Target. What do you think about this one?
Ambitious
Target:
TOC for Education practitioners are intrinsically
motivated to enthusiastically share their learning experiences with their
fellow TACTics readers.
Would you agree with this ambitious target? Will you help us with the verbalization? We know you have obstacles. Are any of them like these?
Obstacles:
Educators
often do not have the time to write up their experiences.
Educators
don’t know if their stories are worthy of publication.
Putting experiences in “writing” and then
sharing leaves the author open to
criticism.
Readers don’t realize the importance of sharing their experiences.
Won’t
you please take the time to help us on our POOGI? We need your help with the:
(1) verbalization of our ambitious target.
(2) obstacles that prevent you (and others) from sending in articles.
(3) Intermediate Objectives that will invalidate the obstacle(s).
We look forward to hearing from you! Send responses via hyperlink to <bucknek@resa.net> or <redwards@sault.com>. Or you may send them by mail to: Cheryl A. Edwards, 2253 S. Hill Island Road,
Cedarville, MI 49719 USA
