Unfortunately, it doesn't look like professional winter driving instruction is nearly as accessible as general driving schools - but the same sorts of principles apply.
Don't drive over your limit - take it slow if you need to.
Learn what it feels like when your car is about to skid, and how much countersteer you'll need to straighten yourself out. (See my earlier comment about finding a large empty parking lot to do this.)
Generally, the better you know your car and the way it handles at the limit, the better you'll be able to handle the ice. Again, autocross comes in quite handy for that, and you may want to explore the dirt-based form of the sport, which is called RallyCross.
