Dear colleague,
 
Moorside Primary School, Droylsden recently became the hub for global learning in Tameside and the surrounding area. I'd like to invite you to join us in an exciting new opportunity that supports the overarching educational aims of pupil engagement, staff development and whole school improvement. This ground-breaking new initiative, called the Global Learning Programme (GLP), is being delivered in Primary, Secondary and Special schools at across Key Stages, with a focus on 2 and 3, via local network-based supportresourcescurriculum guidance and funded CPD*.
 
So why join our hub for global learning?
We can offer you the opportunity to be part of a national government funded programme that will give you access to:
 
  • Free support and resources to enhance teaching within your school about global topics including:
 
o    ready prepared projects and resources to take away
o    curriculum plans focussing on global themes
o    books to support classroom activities
 
  • £500 worth of e-credits to fund professional development.
  • Access to an 'innovation fund' worth £5000.
  • Free bespoke CPD across 4 terms enabling your school and staff to develop effective teaching about global issues.
  • Free support and guidance on being awarded the International Schools Award.
  • Free support and guidance on making global links using platforms including eTwinning, Connecting Classrooms and Erasmus+.
  • The opportunity for staff to become accredited Lead Practitioners of global learning as well as achieving the 'global schools badge' to be displayed on your website and letter head.  
  • Online tools providing practical ideas and strategies for enhancing global learning provision.
  • Curriculum guidance to support global learning in key subject areas.
 
We are on a journey to support schools and help you access the full benefits of this government programme and are extremely excited to be able to invite you to join our hub.
 
Many thanks for taking the time to read this letter and I do hope that we have the opportunity of working together on this exciting new initiative in the next academic year. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like further information or are eager to sign up for the endless opportunities and rewards of being a global learning partner.

    1. Unfortunately the Global Learning Programme is a UK government funded initiative designed to train teachers on developing global aspects in their curriculum. It is not therefore open to staff from other nations. In order to seek partners worldwide, I would suggest registering with Schools Online - see my blogpost about finding partners and getting started. Working through the British Council should be the best way to find partners. You should have a British Council representative in your home nation who should be able to support you in this process, but please feel free to get back to me if you need any further advice.
