Teachers and other educators building a learning community for the global dimension.

Schools and colleges

One approach in building a learning community for the global dimension is for schools and colleges to work in-depth on both leadership and curriculum matters. This list provides links to further details of the progress being made through engagement with local support and guidance.

The research engaged school
"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'."
Handscombe, G. and Macbeath, J. (2003) The Research Engaged School, Chelmsford: Essex County Council; available from NFER (18 April 2006)
