Global Portfolio – a summary
Concept
·
Being
launched with Year 7 and Year 10 next year
·
Similar
in appearance to a “Record of achievement”
·
The
global portfolio will be split into six sections “Global Dimensions”. Each
section will have a coversheet and empty wallets for the students to collect
evidence
·
The 6 “Global Dimensions” are:
o
Global
Citizenship and interdependence (To be covered through tutor periods)
o
Conflict
Resolution
o
Diversity
o
Human
rights and social justice
o
Sustainable
Development
o
Values
and perceptions
·
For
each dimension the student needs to collect:
o
5
pieces of evidence relating to “Me” (For bronze award)
o
Plus 5
pieces of evidence relating to “School & local Community” (For silver
award)
o
Plus 1
major and on-going initiative with a more global perspective (For gold)
·
A
student will only receive a bronze / silver / gold award when a they have
evidence that they have met the
requirements in all 6 of the perspectives
Monitoring / logistics
·
Towards
the end of term 2, 4 & 6 the school will conduct “Mini milestone” sessions
·
One
lesson will be utilised for the students to review their progress via peer and
self-assessment and to set targets for the future. The teacher will circulate
and select the best 2-4 portfolios from that particular teaching group
·
The
best portfolios from each group will be sent to departments on a rotation basis
– the departments will select the very best of these and the students will be
rewarded with a breakfast session in the Atrium early in the following term
(Parents to be invited)
Departmental responsibilities
·
Departments
need to identify terms when they will be hitting the global perspectives for
both Year 7 and 10
·
On a
rolling basis departments will be responsible for:
o
Organising
the mini-milestone days
o
Receiving
the best portfolios from each teaching group and deciding on the “Best of the
best”
o
Organising
the rewards breakfasts
