How global learning can make you a better teacher

Global learning and global citizenship education have become recognised by numerous teachers as approaches that can really help to improve the quality of their teaching, as well as inspiring and enthusing learners.

This webinar, with presentations from a number of past and current teachers, will examine the ways in which global learning has impacted their teaching, as well as the learning of pupils. It aims to explore the extent to which global learning can successfully function as intended – as the ‘golden thread’ through the life of a school, inspiring learners to see how they could contribute to making the world a better place, and helping teachers improve the quality of their teaching, therefore raising standards.

Time after the presentations will be given over to a Q&A and participants will have a chance to register questions for the speakers.
