Resources and Support Services

The Global Schools Resource and Support Services aims to provide effective support for all aspects of the global dimension in education for schools across the YHGSA region.

The service seeks to ensure that all those teachers and student teachers in the YHGSA region wishing to access development education resources can do so by whichever means is most convenient and appropriate to them. And, those wishing to incorporate development education resources and approaches into their curricula can obtain the advice required to make appropriate choices.

The Global Schools Resources and Support Services will provide teachers and student teachers access to these services through the following means:

A Regional Resource Fulfilment Service
To supply teachers and student teachers with the resources they require to incorporate a global dimension into their teaching. Resources can be purchased from the service, Go-Global Resources, either through the Regional Resources Database, on the Global Schools website www.yhgsa.org.uk. or through order forms in the Regional Inspection Boxes.

New Resource Outposts
Two new resources outposts are being established in North Yorkshire to provide teachers and student teachers with access to resources in northern part of the region. For up to date information contact the Advisory Group members for the North Yorkshire area.

Regional Inspection Boxes
Inspection boxes of recommended resources have been compiled for advisors and advisory teachers across the Yorkshire and Humber region to use during training sessions, Curriculum Coordinator meetings and to take into schools. Inspection boxes currently available:

To find out how to view the resources in the inspection boxes please contact the appropriate Advisory Group member in your area.

Regional Resources Database
A database of all resources available to teachers across the region is being compiled and linked to the Global Schools Association website, www.yhgsa.org.uk . The on-line resources database will provide teachers with information about all resources available for purchase or loan, from Resources Centres or Go-Global Resources, in Yorkshire and Humber.

Southern Artists Database
A database of southern artists has been compiled and linked to the Global Schools Association website, www.yhgsa.org.uk. The database provides teachers with information about how southern artists in the region can contribute to bringing a global dimension to their schools educational provision.

YHGSA recommends that teachers thinking about inviting a southern artist into their school take up references. YHGSA can not take responsibility for the quality of work of the southern artists on the database.
