Comenius School Partnership ProgrammeAs part of the partner-finding process for the Comenius School
Partnership programme, we provide funded opportunities for school staff
to attend Contact Seminars. Contact Seminars are events organised by
different European National Agencies throughout the year on relevant
educational and curriculum themes. These seminars bring together
interested organisations from various countries participating in the
Comenius Programme. Offering presentations by thematic experts,
workshops to discuss chosen topics and social activities to help you get
to know your colleagues in Europe – seminars provide the time, space and
environment to develop new project ideas. |
Extending the International Learning programme through: |
|||||||||||
|
The International Learning programme in South Gloucestershire is expanding rapidly due to developing partnerships with several national bodies e.g. The British Council, LECT, Specialist Schools Trust, Best Practice Network and the NCSL. The central 'driving force' is the Teachers' International Professional Development Programme (TIPD). Study Visits (Strand 1) have already been undertaken to Denmark, Ghana, Toronto, Phoenix, Poland, Shanghai and Denver. The International Leadership Programme has seen ten South Gloucestershire (cross-phase) Headteachers visit Melbourne Australia in June 2003, one Headteacher visit Montreal and four Headteachers visit New Zealand. An International Leadership research and enquiry group and a Best Practice Forum have been established. |
Commonwealth Exchange ProgrammeAn exchange gives participants the opportunity to exchange teaching positions and homes with a colleague from Australia, Canada or New Zealand. Exchanges can be for any period between one term and a full year, although most placements are for a year. Exchanges to Canada take place from September to August, whilst exchanges to Australia and New Zealand normally run from January to December.
