Think Global Teacher CPD

‘Every child growing up in the UK should have the chance to learn about the world around them, the facts of poverty and underdevelopment, and about the potential to build a freer and more prosperous world.’ (Ofsted School Inspection Update, 2015)
Think Global run a range of teacher CPD courses, both online and face-to-face, supporting teachers to bring the world into their classrooms and develop SMSC education. We have courses to support teachers and leaders in a range of different subjects. To see our full range of available courses have a look at our course calendar for the academic year. Booking To book a place on any of our courses please email schools@think-global.org.uk quoting the relevant course title.  Upcoming Courses: Developing a Global Learning School – 6 week online course This 6 week online course is designed to give teachers the space and time to reflect upon teaching international development and global issues in the classroom. It supports teachers to explore and critique relevant resources and ideas together, and give them greater confidence to advocate global learning back in their own school community. Through participating in this course teachers and school leaders will be able to more confidently discuss global learning, in the context of their own school agenda. They will be inspired to discuss and debate definitions of poverty and development, and consider how this relates to their own classroom practice, and how they can develop practice across their school. Location: Online Next course date: 28 February 2017 (this is a 6 week online course) Cost: £500 (schools registered on the Global Learning Programme England are able to use allocated e-credits to fund this course). SMSC For School Improvement – one day course This one day training course supports teachers and school leaders to develop the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education provision in their school, through a global learning approach. The course enables teachers and school leaders to reflect upon opportunities for global learning in their school and how global learning can improve the SMSC development of their pupils. We look at SMSC education from a global learning perspective, demonstrating the ways in which SMSC and British Values expectations can be met through global learning in the curriculum, developing a global learning whole school ethos and improving areas such as pupil voice or rights based education. Location: Southwark, London Next course date: 10 March 2017 Cost: £185 (discounted rate of £170 is available to schools registered on the Global Learning Programme, please contact schools@think-global.org.uk to find out more).
