Our training can be ‘stand alone’, or sessions can be combined as a sequence of twilights, a half-day or a whole day programme, which can take place in your school or at RISC’s conference centre in Reading. All sessions are interactive and include a range of Global Citizenship resources. If your school is registered with The Global Learning Programme you can spend your e-credits on training and support from RISC.
The Global Teachers’ Award (GTA) is a national award supporting teachers in developing skills, confidence and practical approaches to embed global learning in the curriculum and promote informed, active Global Citizenship with pupils. The Level 1 course was launched in autumn 2011 and Level 2 in December 2014.RISC’s Education Team is validated, through Liverpool Hope University, to deliver the award. Although its for individual teachers, GTA training (Level 1) can be booked for your whole school staff and delivered on an INSET day, or as a series of twilights. If your school has a small staff, why not team up with another school to share the costs?
RISC’s training for ITE institutions includes ongoing work with trainee teachers at Reading University, Oxford University and Oxford Brookes. We regularly deliver sessions for all three institutions and welcome opportunities to work with trainees.
