CONNECTIONS

(2)        News from Texas: A TOCFE Leadership Academy

From Paula Sommer

 

A Leadership Academy for 7th and 8th graders at Hutcheson Junior High School will be conducted July 30 to August 3, 2001.  Warren Foster, Charlie Blanton, Paula Sommer and (hopefully) Dolores Harris will work with 24 at-risk students, 8 of which failed last year.  We will do three days on tools then move to using music of their choosing to practice the tools, then scenarios where they could do some peer mediation which we will offer the opportunity for them to continue into the school year.

 

QUOTE

(3)      Our quote this week helps to announce the location of the 6th International Conference!

 

England swings like a pendulum do... Bobbies on bicycles 2 X 2, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of Big Ben, the rosy red cheeks of the little children... Roger Miller

 

Yes, our next conference will be held in the United Kingdom!

 

EDITOR’S NOTES

I knew it would be just a matter of time for one of us to align the TOCFE tools to best practices in education.  The connections to quality instruction are endless.  Fine job, Cheryl!
