Collaborative curriculum projects
ISABack
Educators are able to benchmark themselves against
world class standards to ensure the best possible
outcomes for their young people.
Collaborative curriculum projects are embedded in the
curriculum and carried out in collaboration with a number of
different schools.
They give students access to another culture and language
and direct experience of working with those in other
countries.
Projects can involve a range of subject disciplines
and can support the British Councils work in other
areas, such as English, climate change and the arts.
