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My old email address is no
longer valid.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
