It has a busy time for the office this past couple of weeks. We've had the CfBT (UK) Chairman, John Harwood, and Richard Birkett, the number two man, out for a few days for some very important meetings. They also wanted to see some of our staff 'in action'.
I took John to Melaka to see Helen Campbell Pickford 'ELPing' one of her teachers in a relatively small rural school. Among other things, John learnt how to write letters in the air using his elbow. On the same day, Jan, Chris and Richard went to see Denise Boucher in class with some of her students and caught up with Fergus.
See the Photo Albums for some more pictures of the day's activities...One of those very important meetings that the chairman et al had, was with the Secretary General of Education, to brief him on what we (CfBT Malaysia) had been doing for the past four and a half years and present to him our 'blueprint' for the future, which was, I believe, well received. The UK people have now gone back to the UK but we here in KL will be following up this week with a meeting with the Director of Schools Division and next week with the new CDC Director. All in an effort to secure new contracts for next year. Keep your fingers crossed!
Jan and I have also been out of the office for a while, which you would know if you've tried to send us an e-mail, visiting most of the Southern and Central staff. Jan is currently in Kuantan catching up with Sue, George and Kristof ahead of the upcoming Zone Meeting. I have been driving all over the countryside catching up with Greg in Kulai, Andy in Mersing, Sami in Pekan and Mike in Tampin. Missed out on seeing William as he was training in Tioman and I wasn't up for the swim. I'll also be in Kuantan later this week for the all important Zone Meeting.
Sami and Helen are currently in Langkawi conducting a 'Genre Writing' course for Lower Secondary teachers, as part of our CDC commitment, and will be joining us in Kuantan later.
