International activities
An
international activity is a class-based
activity, which can last for any duration, and should bring an
international dimension to teaching and learning.
When you apply for Full ISA, the activities in your action plan
must include:
- Cross curricular activity
- Curriculum-based activity
- Collaborative work with partner schools
- Majority of curricular subjects involved
- Majority of pupils involved
- Year round activity
In order to get an idea of the kind of
activities you can include in your ISA application, have a look at
some of the best international activities that other schools have
submitted in the past.
Questions about
activities
| Activities could be led by a
particular class or year group - some effort should be made to
share and involve the rest of the school, or other departments,
perhaps just at the end of the activity or in one aspect. |
| Some of your international
activities should be joint, collaborative activities with a partner
school, but others can relate to your local community, to local
schools or to whole school awareness raising. |
| Work together to look at an
international aspect of the UK, such as immigration or diverse
cultures. Work together to build up a portrait of Britain that
might be shown to an international partner. For more ideas see the
Community Cohesion Toolkit on this
site. |
| Only where the visit gives rise to a planned joint project or
gives rise to curriculum development at your school. |
