CONNECTIONS

(1) Greetings from The Netherlands

From Petra Pouw

Just a little note to let you know that I organised a meeting/workshop for

all the people who have taken complete basic TOCFE courses during the past

two years in The Netherlands. The meeting will be held September 26 in

the south of Holland.

We are very happy that Eleanor May Brenneker is willing to travel all the

way from London to be our trainer during that day. We find her a very good

teacher and we are all looking forward to her expert knowledge and teaching

qualities. Not only will we discuss and work with the Logic Branch (which

some people still find difficult) but also she will guide us in finding concrete

examples of the 9 layers of resistance. This is a request from some of the

students.

Hearing all the news from the conference in Florida is also part of the

agenda and we will make sure that everyone gets completely up to date. And

of course Eleanor will go through the homework and deal with the questions

that arise during the day.

There are a few women who are eager to start teaching TOCFE to primary

school teachers. They have almost finished their own training path and I am

sure that you will soon hear more about them.

One day later, September 27, Eleanor travels to Utrecht where one of our

colleagues invited a group of grownups with dyslexia to learn about TOCFE.

Eleanor will teach them the cloud; others will assist her.

We will send you a report after these meetings.

 

READER’S FEEDBACK

From Belinda Small, Florida, USA

I’d like to thank Mike Round for sharing his interesting work in poetry! It

has not occurred to me to use TOC with that genre! Thanks for the new

angle. Keep up the great work!
