The overall aims of the Working Group:
There has been some consultation with Global School Partnerships and regional Local Authorities and it is possible in future that these organisations maybe represented on the group.
1. To work with Local Authorities (officers, Lead Professionals) and
other networks to support schools in embedding the Global Dimension in
the curriculum.
2. To support schools in achieving the Global Schools Award.
3. To use the expertise of schools who have applied for the Award to act
as promoters.
4. To co-ordinate the delivery of CPD on the Global Dimension of the Curriculum.
5. To promote the Global Dimension by helping schools make links with
other initiatives (e.g. Eco Schools, Sustainable Schools; KS1/2/3/4 New
Curriculum, ISA, Fair Trade Schools Award,
SEAL, Equalities Legislation, North South Linking, Rights Respecting Schools,
ECM).
6. To specifically manage the Fair Trade Foundation accreditation scheme
for the region.
7. Actively promote & multiply good practice from existing projects.
