Sad Food for Thought

 

Dear all,

I’m very sorry to have to share some terrible news with you all. Last night I received an email from Sharon informing me that Paul had died and therefore they would not be joining us after Tet. Obviously this is very sad news for us all at ISHCMC as Paul was more than just a normal educational consultant he had become a friend of ISHCMC. He was someone special who made connections with people and institutions. His positive, passionate and enthusiastic personality made him an exciting person to be linked with as a school. His commitment to learning and helping schools grow their pedagogy made him part of our community. Paul will remain with us at ISHCMC as his beliefs are in so many ways enshrined in our school mission. The workshops that he delivered at ISHCMC epitomized the words energized, engaged and empowered; both in delivery and the resultant effect upon us as an audience. He should always be in our minds when we read the word “construct,” as he was our inspiration for transforming our pedagogy.

Hence this week’s food for thought is to take a minute to reflect upon how Paul influenced and helped you in your approach to teaching and by capturing these positive feelings send our condolences to Sharon and his family.

Last night I did send sympathies to Sharon but thought that if any of you would like to share your thoughts then I will compile and send as one email to thank her and Paul for the connection they made with us at ISHCMC.

Wishing you all a good Sunday,

Yours
Adrian
