Schools and colleges
Archived page March 2011
Links below feature testimonies from schools where the global dimension has been embraced through a whole-school commitment. Some report the beginnings of such a journey and are here to inspire others to consider making the global dimension their own priority for school improvement. This approach is building a learning community on the global dimension for schools and colleges to work in-depth on both leadership and curriculum matters. This progress is being made through engagement with local support and guidance
"The research engaged school is one in which teachers believe it is in their interest, and in the interest of their pupils, to be critical of received wisdom, to be sceptical of easy answers, to have a desire for evidence and to foster 'aggressive curiosity'."
