Introduction
The toolkit shows the range of methods being used to monitor and evaluate outcomes in the Global Learning Project Scotland (GLPS).
We hope that the toolkit will encourage more agencies to get involved with showing the impact of global learning in the final year of the project (July 2012-June 2013). If you would like to find out more about the project, and the results of monitoring to date, contact IDEAS by e-mail:
(The coding tk1-12 was used to associate the tools with activities in the GLPS Plan for Monitoring Outcomes.)
Many thanks to the teachers and GLPS staff who contributed to the toolkit.

tk4, tk8 and tk12 were based on questionnaires from How do we know it’s working? by Reading International Solidarity Centre (2008). Tk9 was produced by Kingussie Associated Schools Group. Mark Merrell wrote the remaining tools and produced the toolkit. Lynn Baxendale (West of Scotland Development Education Centre) gave advice based on testing of drafts at teacher CPD events.
