IGCSE Global Perspectives Team Project

A step by step IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) Team Project toolkit: local issue, research, action, Explanation, Evidence of Action and the Reflective Paper.

Take the stress out of the Team Project, for your students and for you.

This toolkit walks students through every stage of the IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) Team Project: choosing a local issue, dividing research, planning a measurable action, writing the Explanation of Research and Planning, collecting Evidence of Action, collaborating well and writing the Reflective Paper. A running fictional case study, Team Refill, shows what good work looks like at each step.
