THEORY CHANGES

------ Original Message ------
Received: 05:30 PM CDT, 06/14/2015
From: "Mary Adams"
Subject: Change starts Fall Theory/2016

HI members,

I just got back from Houston TMTA Convention. I took ‘TMTA-SA THEORY: UPDATE
SYLLABUS AND STUDENT MANUAL PRESENTATION workshop. Basically, all the changes
will be on TMTA website under Theory changes. The first change will be for
level 1-8 on Fall/2016. Then level 9 on Fall/2017, level 10 on Fall/2018;
level 11 on Fall/2019 and level 12 on Fall/2020.

You will have each level PRACTICE TESTS on Summer/2016. So you can use them to
show your students. They will not be selling any syllabus(manual) online or in
the stores. You will need to print it from the website. In the convention,
Beck Landreth presented each level updates (via PowerPoint) very fast. She
mentioned that Syllabus and Student Manual will be online in 2-3 days. Please,
go to website and read it/print it so you can better prepare your students
next year. Becky Landreth also said not to sell the sylabus/manual to your
students to make profit.

Again next fall Level 1-8 will have the changes. Levels 9-10-11-12 will be
gradually per year (read the first paragraph).
We can talk more about this in the next meeting in August.

Blessings,
Mary Adams
