The Global Teachers Programme (GTP) returns to Scotland in 2012 with an investment of £261,000 over two years from the Wood Family Trust. The new and improved GTP will focus on supporting school improvement in Uganda and Ghana, while embedding Global Citizenship and International Education in Scottish schools, the schools’ learning communities, and the Education Authorities.
In 2012, Link Scotland will recruit and train 15 teachers from Aberdeenshire and South Lanarkshire Education Authorities to live and work in Ugandan schools for 5 weeks over the Scottish summer holidays. With support from Link Uganda, participating teachers will assist teachers at their Ugandan ‘host’ school in employing better teaching and learning methodologies, expanding leadership skills and implementing enhanced School Improvement Plans.
Upon their return from Uganda, participating teachers will implement individually designed Global Citizenship learning plans in their schools and join the Link Schools Programme to begin a supported partnership with their Ugandan host school, and offer a first hand global learning experience to students in Scotland. The focus is on bringing Global Citizenship into their classrooms, sharing learning with peers, and spreading Global Citizenship values through whole schools, communities and regions.
In 2013, teachers from two additional Education Authorities will be invited to apply to the Global Teachers Programme to volunteer in either Uganda or Ghana. Following review of the two year pilot we will seek to extend the Global Teachers Programme for 4 years and involve teachers from 8 Education Authorities across Scotland.
