Sharing deeply moving feedback from teaching at UW in 2012.

Dear Paul,
The Honors Program is designed as a space where unusual things can happen, and your course exemplifies the best of these possibilities. I have never read student evaluations like yours. I think that every teacher wants his course to be exceptional, but it seldom happens. In your case however, the course made something live that students scarcely knew existed before enrolling. There is a tone of amazement in their comments that such a phenomenon could occur in a college classroom.

Duncan Harris, Director, UW Honors Program 2012.

You're a man with great creativity and a wonderful ability to communicate, interact with, and motivate others, my friend, especially young people. A great gift to be treasured forever. It's the foundation and bedrock of heroes!

"Our students enjoyed learning about the stories of creation and the importance of the Dreamtime to understand the existence of the animals and insects, mountains and waterways, trees and plants."

Feedback from Stephen Clough, Principal at Larnook Primary in NSW on Paul's recent visit to the school 18 June 2015.
He spent an entire morning working with over 30 students, the whole school.

I have been to quite a few performances with an Aboriginal perspective and I can honestly say that it is the best, most informative and interactive session that I have participated in. Thank you, on behalf of myself and the school for this great learning opportunity.

"I'm a Big FAN!!!"... You were a good influence, you gave me confidence and inspiration. You taught me dances, how to make bullroarers and stunning beautiful amazing sounds.
