Final questions, comments etc.

Basic thinking behind the Award

1. In our interconnected global world

we are affected by and have impact upon the environment and people on a global scale

although we may not be aware of this.

In our interconnected global world

the global

is in is in

the local

We can get a sense of the global by examining the local with an informed “global gaze” (Harriet Marshall).

We don’t fully understand the local without an informed sense of the global.

2. Teachers doing is not the same as, and

does not always lead to students learning.

When it comes to our global work, what do we expect, and how do we know it’s working?

3. There are different levels of engagement with our global world.
