Implementing global and geographical education

Abstract

This portfolio documents the development and application of a new conceptual framework for the effective implementation of Global Education knowledge, perspectives, values and citizenship in the New South Wales Geography curricula for Years 7-8 (Stage 4), Years 9-10 (Stage 5), and Years 11-12 (Stage 6) (Board of Studies, 1998; 1999; 2003), related teaching and learning resources, and pre-service and in-service courses for teachers. The New South Wales Secondary Global Education Project, funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), is managed by the researcher for the Geography Teachers' Association of New South Wales. The researcher, as manager, was required to publish refereed papers and teaching and learning resources. As such, this portfolio represents a synergistic bringing together of scholarly academic work and professional practice.
