We can assist with funding applications for projects and help find partner schools in other countries. We organise in-service training and overseas professional development courses for teachers, provide resources and ideas for international projects and events, organise student debates and manage the county's primary languages strategy. Since April 2006 the IEO is self-funded and charges for its services through school subscriptions or one off charges. What's new from the International Education Office
What do we mean by 'the international dimension'? What does it mean in practice and how can you introduce it into the curriculum? What is the International School Award? Practical advice, a sample policy and an international calendar of weeks and days.
Your guide to finding partner schools, making links with schools around the world and accessing funding to support links.
There are many opportunities for primary, special and secondary teachers and school staff, headteachers and education officers to see best practice in other countries and to take part in funded international professional development courses, exchanges and study visits.
From September 2009, primary schools in England will be introducing an entitlement to language learning at Key Stage 2. The International Education Office is supporting schools to reach this target and working to ensure a coordinated strategy for successful transition from KS2 to KS3
In addition to members of the International Education Office team, there are a number of Gloucestershire teachers skilled in particular aspects of the international dimension and various outside organisations that all provide advice, expertise and support to schools. The IEO also has a range of resources available on loan and can advise on where to obtain additional materials
The International Education Office runs a variety of events and competitions for schools and colleges
