  1. Internationalising Learning

  2. Starting Out… • What we took away from the first session on internationalising learning: • Creating an internationalised approach to learning takes everyone! • It also takes time – in order for it to be both meaningful and lasting, it requires a process of gradual change. • And finally, it needs clear vision – we had to know what we wanted, why we wanted it and how we were going to achieve it.

  3. So what did we want?

  4. Going for Green…

  5. Our Plan… • To develop a whole school approach towards gaining the Eco Green Flag award • To ensure that all of the ideas and learning for this were relevant, fun and, above all, sustainable. Our Approach: • To talk to all staff to find out what we already had in place to support our application. • To discuss as a staff how we could embed eco issues further into the curriculum in an exciting, successful and lasting way. • To set goals: look at the Green Flag criteria and see what more we needed to do to achieve it.

  6. So What? What’s in it for the children? • As a staff, we decided to focus on the following areas with the children: • Enjoyment and enrichment – developing a sense of joy and wonder in exploring our school and local eco-system. What do we stand to lose? • Sustainability and taking responsibility • Looking closer: learning more about our local eco-system and why it might need protecting • Developing a community approach to achieving this (Both school-wide and local). • Going Global: how some of these issues might relate to the wider world.

  31. The end… or just the beginning? • Our overall experience from this is that a carefully planned, inclusive approach can, and will, result in a more deeply embedded change for the better. • By developing a culture of collaboration among staff future projects now seem far more possible. • Most importantly, staff, parents and children have a deep sense of ownership and achievement in our super green Eco School!
