1 Global Learning Programme: What’s it all about and how can I get involved?

2 Global Learning Programme launched The GLP is a ground-breaking new programme which supports teachers to help their pupils learn about the challenges our world faces, their role within a global society, and think critically about with issues such as development, poverty, globalisation interdependence.GLP The programme is based on a peer- to-peer model, sharing expertise in Global Learning through a national network of GLP Expert Centre schools. Watch the GA website for updates and opportunities to get involved.GA website Secretary of State Justine Greening launches the GLP at St Mary Star of the Sea School, Hastings

3 GLP key themes GLP key themes;key themes knowledge : of developing countries; of the basic elements of globalisation; of different ways to achieve global poverty reduction and development, and the arguments around the merits of different approaches, and understanding of the concepts of interdependence and sustainability. PLUS enquiry and critical thinking about development and development issues. The GLP is Cross – curricular but geography is the ‘prioritised’ subject as these criteria would suggest.

4 GLP programme outcomes As a result, the programme will: help young people understand their role in a globally- interdependent world and explore strategies by which they can make it more just and sustainable; familiarise them with concepts of interdependence, development, globalisation and sustainability; move them from a charity mentality to a social justice mentality; stimulate critical thinking about global issues; promote greater awareness of poverty and sustainability, and enable schools to explore alternative models of development and sustainability.

5 Through the curriculum The GLP will explore: knowledge of developing countries, their economies, histories and human geography; knowledge of the basic elements of globalisation; knowledge of the different ways to achieve global poverty, reduction and development (and the arguments around the merits of these different approaches); knowledge and understanding of the concepts of interdependence and sustainability. It will support enquiry and critical thinking about development and development issues.

6 OpportunitiesOpportunities to get involved: England and Wales Use the new-look Geography Quality Marks to self-evaluate your standards and provision. Global learning is a strong theme in both Primary and Secondary Quality Marks.Quality Marks Access Global Learning resources: Use the GLP site to access a wide range of resources and CPD opportunitiesGLP site Develop Global Learning in your curriculum: Use the curriculum frameworks to review and integrate essential knowledge aspects of Global Learning into your planning Improve your knowledge and skills through GA courses and conference: We will put on a series of face to face and online courses over the course of the project, and offer a Global Learning pathway through the annual conferenceface to face and online coursesannual conference

7 OpportunitiesOpportunities to get involved: England Join the programme as a GLP Partner School: register for the GLP to support the development of Global Learning in your school; join a CPD network with othersregister for the GLP Get your school accredited as a GLP Expert Centre: share your expertise in Global Learning with other schools by becoming an Expert Centre at the hub of a CPD networkExpert Centre Become a GLP Lead Practitioner: use the GLP Teacher Evaluation to recognise and develop your own expertise in Global learningyour own expertise Access the GLP Innovations Fund: the Innovations Fund allocates grants to support small action research projects in Global LearningInnovations Fund Apply for a grant to support transition projects (state schools in England): The GA has a number of £500 grants to support work on Y6-Y7 transition; we also plan to share case studies with the membership.

9 Role of a Partner School Appoint your own GLP Coordinator Complete the Whole School Audit (WSA) to establish current practice. Generate a school action plan. Join a network of other Partner Schools managed by your Expert Centre. Attend four terms of CPD twilight sessions hosted by the Expert Centre. You can also access further CPD from local and national providers, funded through the e-credit strand of the programme. access further CPDe-credit

10 Whole School Audit The GLP Whole School Framework is designed to support schools in achieving global learning pupil outcomes. It helps schools recognise where and how they can embed global learning more deeply as they move through the programme. Review, Action Plan, Carry Out, Link (eg to PGQM), Review, Apply... If the School Action Plan shows your school is at the embedded stage against many of the criteria, apply to become a GLP Expert Centre.

11 Expert Centre (EC) Recruit a network of between 15 and 23 Partner Schools in your local area. Host half-termly twilight support sessions to introduce them to the Global Learning Programme (GLP). GLP will provide support financial and other support including LP training. EC will arrange and deliver the eight half-termly twilight CPD sessions, act as ‘hub’. GLP Expert Centres get funding of between £3375 and £5175

12 Accredited GLP Lead Practitioner Professional recognition. Self-assessment against the ten key criteria for the role.ten key criteria for the role GLP Expert Centre Coordinators are funded GLP partner schools can also take part in this scheme by covering the cost of GLP Lead Practitioner accreditation from the SSAT (The Schools Network) Ltd (£325 per applicant excluding VAT). Valid for 3 years

13 The Innovation Fund Produce an original piece of school-based research on a global learning theme. Grants for a total of up to 50 studies For Educators working in state-funded schools in England Each study can be funded up to a value of £500 The final report should be between 3000 and 5000 words long

14 Transition project Run by the GA KS2 – 3 project based on global themes (must be geography in there!) Primary and secondary schools (KS2-3) £500 per school paid at end of school year on receipt of evidence of work undertaken. £500 x 25 grants available each year of the GLP Paid to SCHOOLS only. You can work with 1 – 3 schools

15 The Geography Champions Can offer you some support at no cost eg a twilight meeting for staff or a conversation with a subject leader Can provide you with paid-for expert consultancy to develop a transition project (e.g. this can be paid for out of money received for successful completion of a Transition Project and is for you to negotiate ) Can provide you with free online support and ideas via the Champions Ning Champions Ning Join the Ning and then select one or more groups to be a member of. There will probably be a group for your local area but you can join any group you want to.

16 (Primary / Secondary) Geography Quality Marks The PGQM and SGQM, like other accreditations, offer evidence that schools have achieved Global Learning Criteria (as set out in the Whole School Framework). What kind of a match does the PGQM give you? * We assessed PGQM Silver Level criteria (excellent geography across the whole school) and colour coded how well they supported the GLP criteria. The GLP criteria are shown on the next slide – green indicates a very good fit with the PGQM criteria. Find out more about the new PGQM framework herehere * These comparisons may change as are being verified by GLP Partners – website will have the latest comparison indicators on the PGQM pages.
