Chris has been busy with all his different responsibilities and we need to send him lots of ideas now. We need to step up for him. Keep in mind that his audience (see below) will be full of skeptics drawn to the session because they want to keep their jobs and, as Chris says below, […]

If you have a website/blog, please send it in to me at benslavic@yahoo.com. We have the Group Members bio list and the Group Members email list (pls. update those as well if you haven’t yet) and now I think we should have a Group Members website/blog category as well. Thanks!
This is further information about Readers’ Theatre, provided by jen after a recent Carol Gaab workshop. I publish it pretty much verbatim here as an article so we can include it as another article on RT in the RT category. When we have enough articles on RT, we’ll organize it, put it up as a

I had an interesting conversation over the weekend. On Saturday I attended the memorial service for the mother of some friends. During the reception I spoke with a Spanish teacher who just retired at the end of last year. He told me that his school has gone to TPRS, and with the way it was
