Distinctive elements of our educational project

Motivating and developing the desire to learn is a key objective at Globeducate Schools, and this applies to both our teachers and our students. Continuing professional development, feedback and professional collaboration help our teachers keep up to date with research and teaching techniques. As an educational community, we work together to provide our students with the best education available, optimising resources and focusing on the needs and abilities of each student, to equip them with the necessary tools in academic studies and the challenges they will face in their future professional lives.

At Globeducate we believe that the entire educational community must continue to learn and improve. Our teachers participate in training days and workshops on topics such as emotional intelligence, the effective use of new technologies and classroom management.

Educational Coaching

As part of Globeducate's progress towards educational excellence, in 2017 the Educational Coaching initiative was launched in the schools. Teachers representing the different Globeducate schools have been trained as Coaches with the aim of helping their colleagues to achieve excellence in their classrooms.

Globeducate aims to incorporate into its schools dedicated and passionate teachers who love their work and constantly strive to develop the skills they already have. As part of their own professional development, our teachers strive to achieve the same goal they encourage in their students: to be the best they can be!

In order to improve every school and ensure educational excellence, Globeducate has implemented a quality framework we call The Globeducate Platinum Standard. The aim of the Platinum Standard is to help the Globeducate schools evaluate the quality of the teaching they offer. Its principles are backed by some of the best practices used in educational systems worldwide, and the mission and values of Globeducate.

It is based on the use of quality indicators that help the Globeducate community to:

• Measure the standards and quality of each school and of our group.
• Recognise the key strengths of each school and of our group.
• Identify the areas where it is necessary to maintain a high standard or where improvements are needed.
• Identify the priorities and create a plan for improvement.

To determine the quality of a Globeducate school and identify those areas where improvements are needed, five core areas are evaluated in each school:

1. Effectiveness of Leadership and Management.
2. Quality of Learning.
3. The Globeducate Mission and Value Proposition.

All this requires constant training for the teachers in order to improve the quality of their teaching and help them be more effective, along with high expectations for all the pupils, the use of questions to stimulate reflection, involvement and participation. There are also feedback 360º mechanisms to help with the communication between the teachers and students or among the students themselves.

All in all, Globeducate Platinum Standard is a tool that evaluates the educational level and quality of each school within the group to help them improve, finding optimum strategies for improvement in all areas.
