The British Council offers a range of funded opportunities for professional development and links with schools around the world. It manages the Global Gateway website on behalf of the Department for Education, which provides support and information for schools looking to develop international partnerships, including a partner-finding database and international resources for the classroom.
The advantages of online collaboration with a partner school somewhere else in the world are:
- Different perspectives on a variety of subjects
- The ability to share recourses
- Share ideas and techniques with other schools
- Share experiences with other teachers
- develop a global dimension in the curriculum.
The benefits for pupils are:
- being able to share information
- pupils can select a pen friend to practice letter writing in ESL
- pupils get a different perspectives from different schools in different countries
- pupils learn correspondence techniques
The benefits to my own personal development are:
- I will gain knowledge through advice and collaboration
- I can discover different teaching methods which work in other countries
- I can discuss any issues with non- biased teachers from other schools
- I can get support from experienced teachers
