Delhi Public School, Bathinda has been the proud recipient of the Award for the second time in 2020-2023, the first being conferred by the British Council in 2017.
The British Council International School Award accredits schools that demonstrate an outstanding level of support for:
- leading and nurturing intercultural understanding and appreciation of sustainable dimension goals in young people
- enriching teaching and learning.
The British Council International School Award has a presence in 31 countries.
A change towards process and value-oriented experiential learning is not easy.
The process of acquiring the information, students working on information acquired, and the actual activity and wider dissemination of the information, have to be well documented.
The British Council International School Award is a leadership challenge and fosters team building, innovation, and project management.
There is little doubt that good leadership is second only to good teaching in raising standards in schools.
Key processes of the programme include:
— Teachers develop collaborative curriculum projects that help young people to engage positively with Global issues.
— Young people collaborate on global issues with international partners.
— Teachers and school leaders are able to embed global citizenship issues into the curriculum enriching teaching and learning.
— Working collaboratively, teachers from different countries adopt successful practices and implement them in their educational contexts.
