The link

I wanted to establish a link with a school in Pakistan so that a mutual partnership could be established benefitting both schools. Our pupils need the native link as many of them are born here and are actually quite insular in many aspects of their approach to my subject and possibly other subjects. So seeing, hearing, talking to and corresponding with natives is the main thrust behind the link

BC want pupils to think and act global with global responsibilities. This makes sense as we are part of a global village and impact each other globally.

British Council protocol

• During the visit • Face-to-face contact builds trust, gives each partner a better sense of understanding and

commitment, and it also provides an opportunity for visiting teachers to gather information about their partner school. Why not consider some of the following activities during your visit?

• Get to know the school, e.g. classroom observations / meetings with senior management / attending staff meetings / meeting the student council / shadowing a pupil.

• Gather useful resources and information. • Share your culture with staff and pupils, e.g. take part of an assembly / Q&A time in classes. • Use meetings to establish the specific needs and priorities of both partners. • Teach a class, either on your own or in a team. This could be focused around the global dimension

theme or your curriculum plans. • Do some curriculum planning with relevant staff members and the appropriate curriculum

documents. • Collaborate on some partnership planning, e.g. developing or updating a Partnership agreement /

resolving issues that have arisen in the partnership / planning for the next visit / discussing the future of the partnership.

• Carry out an evaluation (of the visit / partnership).
