Connected School Training @ Hilton Head

"A Connected School" training took place on Hilton Head Is., SC Jan. 18-21. Participants from California, Indiana, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Vermont, and London, England joined together under the leadership Perry Good and IAACT faculty to further their understanding of Perceptual Control Theory ideas and practices. AND, after four years, the weather was great! Don't you wish you were there? Have you ever seen the Loop drawn & described in the sand? It was an impressive site.

Intensive Training Seminar - Jan. 18-21

Are you tired of the cold, snow & being inside all the time? Relief is here and now - join us at the Hilton Head, SC Intensive Seminar Jan. 18-21. The sessions for ACT I, II, III & IV are held at the Hilton Oceanfront Hotel on HH Island. Strolling on the beach, soaking up the warm coastal sun and relaxing. Doesn't that sound better to you?
