 * What is the significance of the project? **

It is about the connections and sharing ideas, new ways of thinking and a plethora of strategies. Writing is a global topic that can open up new ways of thinking. Improve educational outcomes - not marks based rather skills, relationships, attitudes and collaboration. Value the local and global narratives. Not focused on one school but world contribution. Value all stakeholders - Walk in the shoes of others!


 * What is our vision for a Global Knox? **

To broaden the perspective of our boys and teachers to immerse them in different ways of thinking and different approaches to teaching and learning. The global Knox student will be immersed in subjects that are globally and conceptually focused. No walls in the classroom - looking outwards and developing a growth mind set.


 * What strategies will we employ to achieve it? **

What will be the platform? Video tutorials - like Khan Academy. Learning type activities. Sharing and modelling writing. It needs to have a cultural focus. Needs to be targeted at different stages or ages. Schools to be asked what their focus would be. Groups or tags need to be developed. Targetting schools we want to link with. Needs to be linked to outcomes. Needs a time frame such as a Term or a quarter - launch the project and then grow from this. TED Education videos produced. Connect with significant writers, such as authors and poets. Common theme - Writes across the world! Tangible stage to be developed and clear guidelines and strategies developed. Build innovation from a adaptable, fluid scaffold. Global conversations - special forum days on a specific topic. Once every quarter or a term. Other schools have a voice in this design - reciprocal relationship. Tap into our alumni.
