A short guide to the Fellowship & Global Community (FGC)

Fellowship & Global Community

I used to mess around and stuff, and then when we did HPL, I realised how I need to use stuff like resilience. Like in boxing I have to be tough even if I

don't like it. I still have to do it so I thought if I applied that to school, I'll have better grades. I've learnt that practising over and over can help me achieve success as I was able to become the

northwest champion and by implementing this HPL behaviour, I've learnt that I can achieve success in my studies. I'm still developing my skills in High Performance Learning and

I still make mistakes; however, I'm a High Performance Learner in progress.

Do you always go to the parents to get a snack? Do you always go to tell your mum that you're hungry? Do you eat all--the--

time? Because I sure do, but have a think. Do you do that, should you do that and can other people do that? For

some answers for do you do that, well, I'm not sure that's for you to answer. For should you do that, well, probably not

and answers for do you do that and can other people do that, well, there are multiple answers. It's either you do do that and you

can or you can do it, but you don't. Or you just can at all because, maybe, you

don't have food where you are or you can't afford it or you just have to work hard and hard for it. Well. That's what we're going to look at

today. First we're gonna look at the top 5 most hungriest countries in the world, starting with Somalia and then Yemen

and then Central African Republic. Then there is Chad and then the last one is Democratic

Republic of Congo. These top five hungriest countries in the world. Every morning, every night, mostly

every day go to bed and wake up hungry and they have nothing to do about it. And now

I'm going to tell you a way to stop food waste and global hunger according to the WP

FP also known as the World Food Programme, and I think this information is

very helpful in my, like, you know, inspire you  to do what they are trying to tell you and

it's a pretty big problem. Stop the waste. One third of 

all food is lost or wasted. There's enough food to feed everyone in the world. But yet

690 million people go to bed hungry every night. Together we can stop this so everyday the

United Nations World Food Programme sees the impact food has on the lives of 100 million people they assist each year. You

and WPF know that the small impact, the small change makes a big impact. Be creative: for example, save the banana.

After one week, make smoothies; after 2 weeks, make cakes. If you want to change the

world, you need to change your behaviour. And  give food the value it deserves. You need to be respectful to food.

Hi, At Pate's we take care to base our pedagogy in really good research and HPL provides

us with the research-led framework, but it's the Fellowship and Global Community that provide us with sources of ideas as to how to develop the

ACPs and VAAs is in our classrooms. Then at Pate's our researchers use actual research to test out which of these strategies will

work best in our context. We shared our findings with the FCC and hope to do some shared research in the future.

I love the FGC because if we can't find the answer to a problem we're having, the FGC will always have someone who can.

Good afternoon, And this is a very short message from sunny Castle Hill Primary School in Basingstoke. We got involved with High Performance Learning a few years ago and,

to be honest, it went from being a theory in a book we didn't know much about to being a fantastic opportunity. The Fellowship and Global Community offers tremendous support,

it offers challenge in equal measure in terms you are dealing with people who are working in a completely environment. But we can share the challenges, we can share the problems and regardless

of whether you are a state school, county school, primary school or secondary school, we are all in the same business. We all have the same moral purposes and that is to provide a world class education.

And no child should fall behind so we strive with every class with world class. I'll be working with HPL and with indeed the team led by Deborah. We have just grown and grown.

The children are doing better academically, socially and the nitty-gritty aspects of character just giving them that character to flourish. 

I've been around in education for well nigh on 40 years and I've seen many fashionable swings of the pendulum but the truth is, the bottom line is: HPL: How To Become a World Class School has

moral purpose, adds value as does the Fellowship, as does sharing in a Global Community the values that we all share and, basically, at the bottom of all that is every child must fly.  It's just giving them wings and HPL is trying to do that.

Do come visit us at Castle Hill Primary School. Goodbye.

So one reason why I love the FGC would be the opportunity it's given to take

part in some Joint Practice Development enquiry. And this has been an opportunity to really think about - you

know - an area of interest that we want to focus on as a school community, as an HPL school, and to be able to their work alongside other

colleagues in other HPL schools across the FGC to sort of learn, interact with each other and influence each other and move forward together, so

unlike something like a common place sharing of good practices, it is quite a different process and it's given, although in its infancy ...

it's got all the hallmarks of being something which will really benefit both my own community here in school, but hopefully wide across the FGC as well.

Hello, my name is Tiffany Smyly from The Economist Educational Foundation and I'm going to talk you through a couple of Topical Talk opportunities for the High Performance Learning Network through 2022 and 2023.

So most of you might have heard or interacted  with us so far this year but as a reminder we create resources to facilitate brilliant

high-quality discussions about current affairs in your classrooms. And we create resources every week for a  one hour discussion about something in the headlines with students

and also special edition 6 times a year, which are mini schemes of work which go into a real deep dive across one issue and our resources are suitable for students

aged 9 and above. I'm just going to talk you through four opportunity that we think would really work for the High Performance Learning Network and ties to your frameworks really well.

So number one is signing up for a teacher account on our Topical Talk website so that you can receive a weekly free teaching

resources. As I said these are 1-hour a week resources, everything is provided for teachers to deliver a fantastic discussion which are very much linked to critical thinking, problem solving skills and building knowledge about current affairs.

This is open all year round to all teachers and freely available. Number 2. In late January to early March we are going to run a student standpoint competition which

we think could form a really great focus for High Performance Learning schools. So we will create some resources around sustainability and teachers can use these to spark a discussion

with their students about particular topic of sustainability, and then students will be invited to write a podcast or film, a standpoint about that topic.

We will then judge those standpoints that are submitted and some of them will be selected to be published on The Economist sustainability website, which is a website that is viewed by millions of people

consistently across the world. So it's a really great opportunity for our students have published work on a very high-traffic website.

Thirdly, you'll be invited to join Topical Talk Festivals. We are launching a Topical Talk Festival between October 31st and December 16th.

This is only available to state-funded schools. It's a 7-week festival of discussions online between schools and students at those schools. It's

live events from topic experts, it's live lessons led by us, it's awards for really thoughtful contributions to the discussions online and it's going to be a fantastic

bringing together of cultures and perspectives from all across the world.

And number four is a topical talk leadership program, so if you have a teacher who is really interested in embedding current

affairs and applying critical thinking and communication skills to the world around students, then they can apply to take part in our leadership programme, which will really help develop

teachers to support embedding these kind of discussion and essential skills throughout the curriculum and also thinking deeply about impact measurement.

So that's available through January to July 2023 and again is available to state-funded school teachers only. Linda will share with you a form where you can express your interest in any or all of these four

things and then we can reach out to you as and when is appropriate. The only thing I would mention is if you are interested in that festival, it might be worth booking in and thinking about how you might run that now.

Linda can also share my e-mail so you can get in touch directly and ask me any other questions you like as well. Thank you.
