The Global Teachers Award builds your skills, confidence and practical approaches to incorporate global learning into your Early Years setting.
How will achieving the Global Teachers Award help me and my children work towards the Early Learning Goals?
By incorporating global learning in your lessons, and having the understanding gained through the Global Teachers Award, you will be helping your pupils with:
- Communication and Language Development (by encouraging discussion and reflection)

- Understanding the World (learning about people and communities, the world, technology)
It also benefits Characteristics of Effective Learning through:
