The British Council was looking "to partner with a group of passionate group of British Council School Ambassadors (BCSA's)" and Vidya Vikas Academy has been chosen as one of the British Council Ambassador Schools to take Connecting Classrooms Online (CCO) forward. Our Link Coordinator, Miss Shaefali Lendhay has been selected as a British Council School Ambassador.
The Connecting Classrooms Online launch and a BCSA workshop will be held on September 8 and 9 at Mumbai to introduce the ambassadors to the CCO website and community tools and development of the British Council School Ambassador network. It will also help to understand the key role the school and the BCSA will be playing in initiating and facilitating CCO among schools.
The Connecting Classrooms Online Community would enable teachers around the community to network with one another, seek and share advice and join or form clusters of schools that want to work together on international projects. Discussions on curriculum development and potential links with other teachers globally as well as access to guidance about Connecting Classrooms , the International School Award (ISA) and other grant funded programs could be had.
Undoubtedly, this program will be a very fulfilling and rewarding role for all BCSA's who join hands with the British Council.
