Intermediate International School Award July 2, 2008
Posted by wgordon in : Awards, Global citizenship, International work , 1 comment so farJust heard today that Mid Calder Primary has achieved the Intermediate International School Award and will shortly receive a certificate. This is a major achievement and proves how well the school works to make international educational links.
Next session the school will be applying for the full award. Application for the Full ISA is a two stage process. The initial stage is an online application where you are required to submit a minimum of 7 proposed activities to take place in the 2008/09 school year. These activities must, overall, involve a majority of curriculum subjects, impact a majority of pupils, and demonstrate some collaborative curricular work with international partner schools. The second stage of the application process is the submission of a portfolio of evidence for the international activities due at the end of the school year.
