Prep Class key to this new teacher’s success

At our final Teacher Training Prep Class in NJ, I remarked to the group that the candidates who had been coming to the meetings were very fortunate for the experience. The guidance and advice we received from Dan, Sr. Antonia, and the many teachers who took the time to attend, and work with us, was invaluable.

The most helpful session, which many of us were lucky to take advantage of, was certainly the TCC Intensive held in Ringwood in the spring of 2003. Those of us who attended learned much from Pam Towne and course host Dan that we have been able to apply to our TCC practice. This individual practice, and the Prep Class review, has helped us to refine our movements, and to deepen our appreciation of T’ai Chi Chih, Joy Thru Movement, allowing for the optimum use of time at the Accreditation week.

Sandy, Antonia, Dan, and the wonderful crew of auditors who shared their time and experience with us all remarked that we were very well prepared, and so the Teacher Training Course proceeded smoothly and on schedule. I am very grateful to all who worked so hard to realize the Intensive last spring, and I encourage prospective Teacher Training candidates, and their sponsoring teachers, to take advantage of these opportunities as they are offered. Warm regards to all!
