Its blend of breathtaking, big-screen grandeur, its ever-changing palette of colours, its transparent millefeuille of scenes Ibetween foreground and backdrop, all make it unrelentingly inspiring. After 22 years, I still stall conversations to photograph it, as though a first-time witness to its mesmeric power. But what happens when the fog rolls in? There can be days, or even weeks, when the decorative or dramatic clouds enshroud our community and we are gloved in a damp penumbra. Strangely, our first response is to apologise to our visitors: “What a shame you can’t see the view – you really must trust us, it is inspiring! Here, look at this picture; and look here, this is what the view looks like under snow.” Why do we apologise for something beyond our control? And why do we feel a need to justify its existence? It is still there after all, and will remain long after we are all gone. The answer perhaps lies in our ability – or sometimes lack of it – to live comfortably in a world that is defined by what we know to be there, and what we know to be wonderful, but that we are unable to see, access or share. We are reminded that we have to carry it within We are challenged to transcend materiality, us, and not rely on our sensory equipment to appraise our world not through our to reassure us of the material furnishings conventional senses but through a of the stage we tread. reflective synthesis of all our experiences. This perhaps touches on the essence of What we call ‘spirit’ When the fog rolls in to shroud our view what we refer to as ‘spirit’: a confidence in is a confidence“ in the – our lives – it is an opportunity. And when the enduring presence of something that is enduring presence we glimpse through a break in the mist a powerful, that defies (and may always defy) of something that is tantalising fragment of the majesty that lies our comprehension, that is inexplicably beyond, framed in a moving tableau of beautiful and moving, to which we belong inexplicably beautiful restless cloud, this may afford us the most both as a spectator and as a living part.

  • Developing Students' Global Competence
    Developing students’ global competence: An international research study Introduction Students of the 21st century are now confronted with geopolitical realities never before encountered by preceding generations. Higher rates of migration have resulted in significant demographic shifts across many countries.1 The advancement and proliferation of digital technologies has increased the circulation of information – and disinformation – within and across borders.2 Globalization of labor and supply chains has given way to fierce debates about the advantages and disadvantages of economic interdependence as well as political backlash in the form of protectionist agendas. To navigate this complex globalized world, students need to develop global competence. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) defines global competence as the ability to “examine local, global and intercultural issues, understand and appreciate different perspectives and worldviews, interact successfully and respectfully with others, and take responsible action toward sustainability and collective well-being.”3 How can schools teach students these multifaceted skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes? More research is needed to address this important question. Dr. Christina Hinton and a team of researchers from Research Schools International (RSI) and Harvard Graduate School of Education carried out an international research study to explore how schools can support students to develop global competence. We collected data from teachers and students in 147 Round Square schools spread across 34 countries on 6 continents to investigate this question. We explored which global competencies students in Round Square schools demonstrate and which learning activities Round Square schools are using to support those competencies. Further, we explored relationships among learning activities and global competency outcomes.
