MANAGING PEOPLE AND CHANGE
THEME: THE WIN-WIN-WIN AVAILABLE ONLY USING TOC.
TOCICO 2010 Conference
Summary
Children in school learn in many ways. It is up to their teachers to ensure that they
learn well and yet have fun. The best way to learn is to engage the young person
through his or her senses and use thinking skills.
What better harmony than to learn through the youthful media of pop songs
integrated with The Theory Of Constraints? Imagine this form of accelerated
learning taking place in the classroom. It gives the children a reason to enjoy
school.
Theory of Constraints with music, lyrics and singing! Incredible? A school in
Malaysia takes this method into the classroom.

IF KIDS IN SCHOOL LOOK BORED,
BLAME THE METHOD OF TEACHING
School is where a child goes to learn. But in
Malaysia, the classroom is typically dull as
teachers go through the motions that often leave
their pupils in a state of inertia, writes KOH LAY
CHIN.

PRACTICAL WAYS TO BETTER ENGLISH
By Koh Lay Chin
“Fully aware that improving the proficiency of
English among students will take more than
increasing scheduled lessons, the ministry is
thinking up doable, practical and fun ways to
make it a complete culture of sorts in schools.”

Puff The Magic Dragon
TOCICO 2010 Conference
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other
toys.
Little Jackie Paper lovedthat rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other
fancy stuff.
Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee
One grey night, it happened Jackie Paper came no
more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless
roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like
rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they
came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared
out his name.
Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land
called Hannah Lee
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his
cave.
Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
Hannah Lee

AN AMBITIOUS TARGET
Puff the magic dragon lives forever. But his little
playmates grow up and do not come to play with him
anymore when they grow up.
What are the obstacles Puff will be facing if he wants
to play with children all the time?
What can he do to help himself? He can think of the
obstacles to finding friends all the time.
Can he overcome these obstacles by thinking of
steps he can take to achieve his ambitious target?
