Foreword
The International School Award is an immensely popular programme with schools in twenty-eight countries across the world including UK. Outside the UK, India currently has the most number of schools working on adding an international dimension in the curriculum. The reason for this popularity is the constant endeavour British Council makes to keep the programme relevant and innovative. It strives to support the mission of every school to provide the best education for their students. This Handbook for Embedding International Dimension in the Classroom is the outcome of a review carried out by British Council India to improve the quality of International School Award action plans. It is designed to help teachers and curriculum specialists in Central Board of Secondary Education schools embed international dimension in their classroom and achieve maximum impact from every learning project they undertake. Though confined to classes six to ten at the moment we will expand it to other classes shortly.
Handbook for Embedding International Dimension in the Classroom |
A large number of schools, head teachers, and teachers have contributed to the development of the Handbook and so it is largely your work. The idea was not to create a large prescriptive list of activity plans but to give some examples that will help generate new ideas, stimulate creativity and develop lessons that bring the best of international dimension to every classroom whatever be their context, resources, access to technology, and experience. We aim to run a series of lesson planning competitions and to keep adding to and refreshing the Handbook each year making it a living, handy resource for easy reference. So look out for the announcements on our website, participate enthusiastically and send us your feedback and comments to connecting.classrooms@in.britishcouncil.org as we are always eager to hear from you.

Using the Handbook Introduction Each day the teacher in the classroom is being asked to take on greater responsibility for the development of their pupil. No longer is the teacher only responsible for imparting knowledge and content but is also expected to develop values, attitudes and skills. There is growing consensus now that just marks and good scores in examinations will not help
students succeed. They must also learn how to be skilled, confident and internationally aware global citizens. The purpose of this Handbook is to help teachers plan smarter so that they are able to achieve all of the above and still keep their students on track to cover the content required in the curriculum. Though it is directed at schools planning to embark on their International School Award journey it is will be useful for those seeking to find ways to work across curriculum, develop life skills and give their students an enriched learning experience. We would like readers to note that the curriculum as proposed by the NCERT and the CBSE can be interpreted in a vast number of ways and the approach depicted here is but one view. The lessons or projects and activities suggested are not prescriptive but suggestive and the teachers are encouraged to tailor them to suit their needs and objectives. We believe schools are the ultimately experts in transacting the curriculum and so the activities suggested here have been compiled by teachers and head teachers of a large number of CBSE schools who have worked towards the International School Award programme.
Handbook for Embedding International Dimension in the Classroom |
Cross Curricular Approach The Handbook for Embedding International Dimension in the Classroom has been created through the process of mapping classroom learning activities to the prescribed CBSE curriculum, the global citizenship skills, values and attitudes of the Connecting Classrooms programme and a list of International Dimension learning outcomes required for the International School Award. The activities are cross curricular and usually cover two to three subjects. The presentation of the subject maps at the outset of the class is intended to help teachers look at topics covered in all subject areas at a glance even before they begin planning to allow them to identify opportunities to work across curriculum. The handbook also presents the global citizenship, CBSE life skills and international dimension areas side by side to encourage teachers to see the strong overlap in these sets of skills which makes it easy to design lessons to nurture them in their students.
Focus on Classes Six to Ten The initial focus group discussion and consultation strongly indicated that the
curriculum mapping exercise leading to the creation of the Handbook be for the secondary school. The reason suggested was that these are the classes when the content element of the curriculum in each subject area begins to grow but the need and opportunities for shaping skills, values and attitudes in life skills, citizenship and international dimension also require significant attention. For sake of simplicity all activities covered in this handbook have been allocated to a single class though we envisage that with modification they may be appropriate for older or younger students than suggested here. More over many activities can be coordinated to make a whole school project such as celebration of World Week or an International Festival Day etc.
Teaching and Measuring Learning Outcomes All the activities suggested in the handbook and indeed other activities that teachers undertake in the classroom are likely to have many more learning outcomes than those indicated. The curriculum maps created focus strongly on not more than two scholastic and
7
two non- scholastic outcomes only so that the teacher is able to assess these and gauge the success of these activities rather when trying evaluate the success of these learning activities. While assessing learning outcome in content and knowledge of subject areas such as Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, English and Languages such as Hindi are easily managed through achievement tests, assessment of skills need a different approach. Across the world different approaches have been suggested to measure them and it is far from being an exact science. However, we strongly suggest that teachers use some form of learner assessment of these skills to help pupils understand the contribution of the teaching towards their skill development. The handbook has sample rubrics that have been created by the teachers during the Curriculum Mapping workshop as a suggested way of measuring some of these skills. Many such rubrics are also freely available online. These may be tailored and customised for use by the teachers. The simple template may be created to record the observation while students carry out the collaborative projects, present research, produce reports, express their creativity and participate in the learning activities. To help bring more objectivity to
8
the process teachers may also work in teams to moderate each another’s observation and give students a more exact and meaningful feedback.
Structure of the Sample Activities in the Curriculum Maps Each activity has an aspect of action followed or initiated through meaningful discussion and deliberation in the classroom. The quality of the lesson will depend on the skill of the teacher to manage and deliver the learning experience of their students and facilitate these discussions. Ideally the activities should be undertaken with a partner school in another country but considering this may not always be possible each sample activity can be modified to working without partner schools with International Dimension inputs coming from use of the internet or library. Schools are strongly encouraged to use local opportunities such as International Students hostels of nearby universities, tourist sites frequented by foreigners, personal overseas connections, embassies and consulates, industries with links overseas to add authentic international
experience to the lessons. However, please do take every precaution to ensure that students are safe and are not exposed to any risk while undertaking the activities. Please feel free to modify and change the activities to suit your classroom situation and make them your own. The Handbook for Embedding International Dimension in the Classroom will be updated and modified each year with inputs from you and your school. Share with us case studies of how you have used the learning activities given here or other features of the handbook for planning lessons. You can send us pictures and text at connecting.classrooms@ in.britishcouncil.org. Outstanding case studies will be showcased in our next publication. The British Council schools team wishes you all the best for adding an international dimension in the curriculum and looks forward to many interesting and exciting case studies in the future.

The CBSE Life Skills Curriculum Life Skills, Global Citizenship Skills and International Dimension Outcomes As realisation of the importance of the skill development has grown over the years so has debate and discussion around them. What should these skills be called? Soft skills, 21st Century skills, Deep learning skills, Life skills or something else altogether. How should they be described and how should they be measured? This handbook does not to seek to join the academic debate but to give teachers a tool to design lessons that can nurture these skills within students in a systematic manner. Presented here are two sets of skills and a list of learning dimension outcomes which we have called the co-scholastic areas as opposed to the core scholastic disciplines of Social Science, Science, Mathematics, English and Hindi. The principles of language learning are very similar and we felt that the teachers would easily use the maps for language teaching of any modern foreign language or other vernacular Indian languages. The Central Board of Secondary Educations Life Skills domains was chosen because the vast majority of the schools participating in the International School Award in India are CBSE schools and the Connecting Classrooms Global Citizenship Knowledge, Skills and Outlooks because the whole purpose of the Connecting Classrooms programme is to nurture Global Citizenship. There is a strong overlap between the two lists and that makes the task of mapping relatively simple.
A school is held accountable to regulatory authorities, governors, parents and the students hence its natural that teachers feel uncomfortable teaching something which they cannot tangibly measure and evaluate. The life skills described here are perhaps the hardest to measure. It needs a sharp power of observation and a trained eye to see student demonstrate these skills as they perform the learning activities. To help with the assessment the teachers participating in the curriculum mapping workshop have also attempted to create some sample rubrics

of ISA action plans and portfolios and these are the most common ones used in the Indian schools’ action plans. A common mistake that schools new to the ISA often make is to give more importance to the information they collate and send across to the partner school and not focus on the information received and learning about the world achieved through the activities. ISA is about learning from, learning with and learning about the world and if the action plan is made keeping this in mind it cannot go wrong.

Teacher asks each student to think about what they want to do when they grow up and why and write it down in 100 words. Students analyse the data and classify them by profession (doctors, designers, etc) and by the reasons (help others, earn money, etc.).Then the students look at all the possible ways in which people earn a living around them. Teacher shares the class list with partner school or posts on online forums.

The teacher shares the lists received from partner school with students. Students compare if their list of aim and ambition for earning a livelihood match with their peers around the world. How many professions were new? Why did they want to do this job for their livelihood? Students interview people in their neighbourhood with different modes of earning, asking them: What they like most about their work? What do
they like least about their work? How long and what did they do to prepare for earning their livelihood? They collate their results during class. PERIOD

Using Rubrics Effectively
One of the greatest challenges of teaching life skills is that they are often difficult to measure in a learner. One of the ways to make the skill assessment process systematic, meaningful and impactful is to use rubrics to evaluate learners’ progress. A rubric is a simple table that shows progression of the skills being developed from “beginner” level to “proficient” level. It can have anything between three to five levels usually depending on how finely you want to distinguish between the different levels of the learning on the development journey. There is no one correct rubric. The ones in this handbook were developed during the content development workshop and are mostly generic. Teachers are free to modify these, change them or develop new ones altogether. Sometimes teachers may want to give a numerical index to the rating and give students numerical scores too.
For effective use of rubric for assessment the following three points are essential The lesson activity design must allow all learners to amply demonstrate the skill being assessed The teacher must be very clear about the outward indicator of the skills such as contributing to discussion, helping others, talking a lot or being disruptive, unmindful or engaged The teacher must record the observation while it happens or shortly afterwards to avoid missing out or forgetting details. The purpose of the rubrics should not be to just label young learners but to have a fruitful conversation with them about where they stand at the moment and how they plan to move ahead. Sharing your observation using the rubric table constructively will give students motivation to improve themselves and go forward confidently on their learning journey.
