Third-party CPD courses and training: criteria for inclusion on the Global Learning Programme for England website
As part of the Global Learning Programme (GLP) for England, we would like to harness the expertise of existing CPD providers to help schools develop their global learning and development education work within Key Stages 2 and 3. We are looking for CPD training that we can approve for this purpose.
Such training needs to meet the aims of the GLP, which are based on a particular understanding of global learning and development education: the critical examination of global issues and the roles that individuals and communities can play in reducing global poverty, within a framework of social justice.
We are interested in courses that model good practice for CPD in this area and that has the potential for long-term impact on the quality of global learning and development education in schools.
Details of the GLP’s aims, and the knowledge, skills and values it promotes are outlined in this form. The form also includes more general information (sections 3 and 12 in particular) on course administration recommended by the GLP that providers need to know.
Instructions
The information from the form will be used to assess whether your course should be approved as part of the Global Learning Programme.
Please complete the form with as much detail as possible to avoid delays in approving your training.
Please delete Y or N as appropriate.
Once completed please email this form to
You will only be contacted if your course if not approved, otherwise it will be published on the GLP website within three weeks of submission.
