EIU Best Practices Series No.15: In-service teacher training on education for international understanding in China

This document introduces an effective and systematic in-service teacher training programme on Education for International Understanding (EIU) in Beijing, China. In order for this training to take place, the Beijing Institute of Education (BIE) has been working to develop a school-based curriculum on EIU to be implemented in local schools. Through this effort, the in-service teacher training programme on EIU motivated and strengthened the capacity of teachers to incorporate EIU curriculum into various subjects they teach in schools. As a result of this practice, schools in which EIU have been implemented, raised the level of global awareness among their teachers and students. This effort to promote EIU in Beijing is an excellent model for policy makers, curriculum developers and educators to learn the effective strategies to promote EIU in schools.
