School Management

ESDGC can contribute to the school community by developing a set of shared values and a positive ethos. The curriculum aspects of ESDGC are successfully delivered when the management of the school recognises its connections to the local and global community; demonstrates a commitment to sustainable practices such as energy saving, ethical purchasing, transport or healthy eating; and exemplifies its commitment to cultural diversity through its school management policies.

The self evaluation tools (found in appendix 3 and 4 of the schools 'Common Understanding' document) allows schools to reflect on and evaluate their own current levels of involvement in ESDGC. These extend from a basic to embedded level and indicators are given to help assess the levels you are currently working at.
