KS3/4 Citizenship - The Global Dimension
Now that the secondary curriculum encourages global awareness to be integrated into lessons, two schools demonstrate how concepts more familiar to citizenship or geography can be woven into other subject areas.
Prince Henry's School in Otley has had an international emphasis for years. What started with token theme days has moved on to threading global issues across the entire timetable, and now include GCSE revision lessons in which the global themes of Lord of the Flies are discussed.
Meanwhile, at Meadowhead School in Sheffield, they at an earlier stage of the process and Alison Huntley from Leeds Development Education Centre works with teachers to develop their ideas.
Here Year 7 maths students use a trading game to practice surface area calculations, and a history lesson compares life under William the Conqueror to present day Democratic Republic of Congo.
The teachers at the school discuss the outcomes of this way of working and the need to collaborate across subject areas. They are united in their commitment to the key purpose of the scheme; to widen pupil's horizons and prepare them for life in the global community.

It's worth to say that sites (generally) and videos (particularlly)like these, are so helpful. They provide a sort of feedback and deep reflection on my teaching techniques Even though there are a huge differences in terms of materials, environment, and mentalities.Also the lack of ICT and all that stuff made teaching English as F.Language in Morocco very difficult.
I'm so grateful to you for your efforts and Net.service. Thank you.
