ISHCMC FACULTY Adrian Watts Head of School British Bachelor of Arts Economics, History and Sociology, Durham University Master of Arts Educational Management, Bath University Experience: • Deputy Head and Director of Academic studies at New International School of Thailand (NIST) in Bangkok • 30 years IB experience • Head of Secondary School and Deputy Director at International College of Spain in Madrid “Having lived and worked abroad for more than twenty five years my philosophy of education has been strongly influenced by the different schools I have been fortunate to work in. I believe that students must be educated for the global society of the twenty-first century and be challenged to reach their full academic potential. They have to be critical thinkers and able to communicate, connect and collaborate effectively with others. Their minds need to be creative and disciplined, able to synthesize information and to make ethical and principled decisions. It is essential that they are made aware of their learning style and that the school actively supports the use of varied teaching and assessment methodologies.”

It is known that all students learn differently and all lessons, units and programmes must be differentiated to meet the needs of everyone.”

The complexities of the current global context means that these young hearts and minds need to develop skills and concepts that will enable them to cope with the constant of change and to develop into our future leaders. Now it is more important than ever to develop emotional intelligence where resilience and intrinsic motivation enable creativity and critical thinking to develop whilst simultaneously ensuring that communication and collaboration are everyday events. Ultimately education is about preparing a young person to be happy, safe and have the ability to define success and their accomplishments through managing the wide range of challenges that they will face at school and in life beyond. ”

We are all different from our cultures and beliefs, talents and learning styles, looks and nationalities and it is the differences that set us apart and makes us unique. However, when we celebrate our commonalities, we are united in our philosophy, goals and efforts and it makes our experiences together richer. It’s all about the kids and making ISHCMC the best school in Vietnam through engaging lessons, collaboration, and responsible sustainable action.”

Experience: • 21 years in public, private, national and international schools in Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States • Secondary Deputy Principal, British International School, Phuket, Thailand • Chairperson of English Department, International School Bangkok, Thailand • Chairperson of English Department, Carol Morgan School, Dominica Republic “I believe in a simple approach to education: celebrate today’s successes and make honest, thoughtful, deliberate action steps to get better tomorrow. Key to that approach is looking at each situation with Carol Dweck’s “growth-mindset” model and emphasizing a positive, “can do” attitude, regardless of the challenge. Student and teacher collaboration is at the heart of creating a culture where people feel safe to take risks with their learning. My goal is to model this by working with students and teachers in classrooms as much as possible. In doing so, I find others see me as a teacher leader who wants to learn from them and with them. “

Maxwell who said, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I have been fortunate to have had a number of role-models who have guided and taught me that the foundation of any educational institution is the people. I view the role of a leader as mentor and facilitator – ensuring support is available to all members of our learning community and that up-to-date, pedagogically sound, effective, teaching and learning experiences are available to our staff and students. “

For me, learning should be inclusive, active, challenging and fun. The learning environment at ISHCMC clearly fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation amongst colleagues and students to make this happen. I am really excited by the opportunities presented by the new secondary campus to take authentic inquiry-based learning for all of us to a new, higher level. “
