Paul Mallen
Paul has been working as an International Educator for over 20 years. He currently works with students, parents and teachers in and around the Lausanne area of Switzerland.
Paul is a board member of SENIA, Switzerland and an NEASC ‘ACE’ protocol qualified accreditation team member who regularly visits schools throughout Europe.
As a part of his Masters Degree, Paul has taken a deeper look at how proactive development of central nervous system functions can positively affect a child’s potential to be well for life. In his latest study, he investigated the effects on the teacher after a class of students took part in the STEP programme.
Paul believes in a distributed leadership model where everybody exists as both a learner and a leader. Paul led the implementation of the first IBO MYP PE course in Hong Kong, and has also collaboratively contributed to developing secondary pastoral and curricular systems. Paul has also been a Director of Sports and Activities.
Paul’s Access to Learning programme coaches teachers, students and parents to scaffold around the physicality of the student to allow practical changes to daily routines. This is factually based on the science of who we are. People establish positive daily routines. and many students have broken through personal barriers to gain access to their full potential. Please take a look at the testimonial page to see what people have experienced.
In contributing to the latest IBO curriculum reviews at MYP and DP, Paul focussed on the need for all schools to provide adequate planned movement opportunities for all children everyday. Centrally located resources should be easily accessible to students to enable them inquire and learn about their physical learning and performance systems. Teachers can support independent enquiry and help students monitor and understand the life-long impacts that occur when we develop our systems.
Outside of education, Paul was the ‘Director of Coaching’ for Hong Kong rugby and has coached school, first division and international rugby teams.
