'A footprint means pressing down and global means world, so 'global footprint' means pressing down on the world and we don't want to press too hard' (child's definition of a Global Footprint)

Planning Grid

The planning grid is for schools to plan and implement next steps in developing global learning in their school.

We advise focusing only on a few areas at first, either building on existing strengths or deciding on a new focus for the school, or else combining both these two approaches. Try to ensure you have some SMART objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) and that as many people as possible are involved in completing the grid to sustain a shared purpose. As well as developing the bigger vision for change, make sure roles and responsibilities are defined from the start.
