The thirteen St Mary’s BEd 3 students named above were
awarded a Global Dimension in Education Certificate on 14th May
2008. Global Dimension Committee members Teresa Cash, Gerard McCann
and Stella Murray presented the certificates and thanked each
for their commitment and hard work in relation to this major component
of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
The aim of the Global Dimension Certificate is to develop and
assess students’ knowledge, understanding, skills, values
and attitudes in relation to the main Global Dimension concepts.
These include Global & Local Citizenship, Peace & Conflict
Resolution, Diversity, Human Rights & Social Responsibility,
Interdependence, Equality & Social Justice, Sustainable Development,
Values & Perceptions and Poverty Reduction. In doing so, students
are encouraged to take responsibility for bringing the Global
Dimension into their current and future teaching practice. This
is done through the completion of a portfolio of evidence demonstrating
that they can appropriately address the key concepts in their
teaching. The certification process includes use of the Global
Dimension Resource Office, accessing of information on lesson
plans and schemes of work at the Global Dimension section of the
St Mary’s website, consultation with staff, and final portfolio
evaluation.
