Schools of Thought Issue...Subscribe!

We're running late...obviously "early March" has flown past and the new issue isn't in the post yet. It's all for a good cause...Michael Frederick told me to forget my deadlines and get the content spot on. So, I defered to my more experienced and esteemed colleague this time and took his advice.

There are so many opinions within the Teacher/Trainer community...it has been a minefield giving everyone their share of the magazine. After interviewing 19 training course directors and speaking with many trainee teachers around the world, we've put together an issue that will stand the test of time. Training courses are facing big changes in regulation and consumer demand and they are being forced to bend to these outside influences.

Seven solid articles fill this issue...to the point that we've expanded to 40 pages to accommodate. Here are some snippets:

Generational Shift:
Since 1960 the Constructive Teaching Centre in London 
has produced hundreds of teachers. Now the school is 
faced with catastrophic changes to the very fabric of 
their philosophy.
Schools for Thought:
Three training courses on three continents prepare 
their graduates for life after school with business skills, 
anatomical expertise and scientific vocabulary.
(Ireland, Israel, USA)
Training Course Evolution:
Discussing competency vs time-based models for 
training teachers, we bring together 5 diverse opinions 
and uncover some ties that bind.
Building BodyChance:
An insightful story of struggling training school to 
successful Alexander technique training corporation, 
the largest in the world to date.
Two Trainings on Time:
Full time, intensive training processes justified by 
two passionate directors with decades of teacher 
training experience.
From Student to Trainee:
What happens between taking lessons and deciding 
to become a teacher? 5 people share their inner journey.
Hidden Pathways:
Apprenticeship style training is still alive and strong. 
4 interviews with motivated individuals doing it their 
own way and in their own time.
PLUS...
The International Training School Directory covering
STAT, Affiliated, ATI, PAAT and ITM organisations, all
in the one place.
