READER FEEDBACK: CORRECTIONS

(1) Please Take Note!

From Kathy Suerken

My old email address is no longer valid. The correct one is suerken@cox.net.

Also, in my article, “Silver Threads,” in TACTics, February 21, I left off part of the address for the informational web page on the e-learning package.  The complete address is www.tocforschools.com.

(2) Dear Cheryl,

The report, “Student Feedback: Golda Meir Mount Carmel International Training Center,” which was published in TACTics, February 28, was written by Rina Raviv. She ran the workshop so successfully that she got much positive feedback. Please, it's not clear enough and someone may think I instructed the successful course.

Many regards,

Gila

CONNECTIONS

(3) A Call for Research or Examples

Dear Cheryl,

I read TACTics every week and like the fruitful connections between all of us. I continue doing my best in distributing TOC.  For a project I have planned, and in order to create a budget, I need research information about any TOC training that has been done with children from kindergarten to the age of 9. If not research, at least good success examples. Could you publish a call in the next paper?

Thanks,

Zzippi

(4) A Wish

Dear Friends,

Referring to what Rafael and Francis Conde shared with us: All I can hope is that our government in Israel should consider using this idea in order to try to get some serenity here. These clouds, in many countries, are unnecessarily darkening our whole universe.

Muchas gracias; Y todo lo mejor.

Yours,

Zzippi
