This video is designed to help teachers by giving an introduction to the changes Cambridge have made to the IGCSE syllabus for students sitting from 2025.
IGCSE Global Perspectives requires the students to develop the skill of identifying and understanding different perspectives. This resource takes a historical photo related to racism and allows the teacher to make a connection to how it remains a global problem. The students can explore different points of view/perspectives on racism. It is designed in a step by step format which allows the student to develop their understanding.
The lesson plan explores the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement through a video, and focuses on developing students understanding of different cultural perspectives, by using sources to identify different viewpoints about the topic. A complete lesson plan that is divided into different tasks to allow the teacher to complete it within a time frame they are comfortable with. This lesson plan can be used generally for BLM but has been written with IGCSE Global Perspectives in mind.
IGCSE Global Perspectives Component 3 Team Project requires the students to submit a Reflection Paper. To help break down some key requirements of the project process, and to record them for use later as examples within the Reflection Paper, I have created this Log for students to complete individually. Give your students a print out, or a soft copy, or both to allow them to focus on the important skills and aspects which they will need to reflect on.
Posters for each one of the six International Baccalaureate themes to display in the classroom, or can be printed off smaller for use in student folders.
A short video based on the new syllabus for students appearing from 2025. It can be used to introduce the subject to your students. It covers key Global issues, syllabus aims, the 3 components and all the topics. Teachers can play the whole video, or pause at each part to explain and discuss with their students.
To fully engage students in their learning journey, and to facilitate their sense of collaboration as a class, I have created this Class Memory Journal. Print it off, keep it in the classroom, and encourage the students to help you complete it monthly, so by the end of the year you will have a wonderful journal full of great memories. The journal contains a space for information and photos of the class, and is divided into sections representing each month of the academic school year, with pages to record important events, best memories, a special mention section for those students who have stood out that month, and a section for students to write what life lessons they have learned.
