Introducing…
…the Global Dimension Website
Find 100s of resources to help you teach about global issues…
To find a resource, simply do a search, for example:
Subject (eg Citizenship)Theme (eg Fair trade)Age Range
(eg 11-14)Price Range (eg Free)
Click on the search results
to get further
details about each
resource.Full ordering details are provided for
each resource, or direct links
to their website.
This shows the results
from another search,
this time on
‘climate change’
for ages 5-7.
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.
