You can also do an ‘advanced

search’ to narrow down

your focus, or if you’re looking for a particular title

or publisher.

There are a range of articles

looking at particular

global themes in

greater detail and discussing how they

can be taught.

The site also includes a wealth of

background material about the

‘global dimension’ and how it

links in with the school

curriculum.

It provides information

about linking with a school

in another country; the

support available; and what things to

consider to make your

link a success.

Case studies

show how other

teachers have

developed the global dimension both within lessons and across the

whole school.

The website

also links you up to

the support

available in your

local area to help

you ‘bring the world into your teaching’.

There’s a list of

organisations who can

supply free speakers for ‘global’

assemblies and

lessons.

The website also has a ‘global

calendar’ to enable you

to plan lessons and

activities around

different days and

weeks with global

significance.

And you can sign up for a

regular termly

e-newsletter,

‘The Globe’ to keep

informed about site updates, news and resources

with a global theme.
