GLOBE in the UK

Here in the UK, we have over 500 GLOBE Schools and over 1,000 GLOBE trained teachers.  In addition to collecting data, GLOBE students participate in international partnerships, develop local projects, and use GLOBE to support other activities such as EcoSchools and the Government's 8 pillars for sustainable schools.  There's lots of things you can do - but it is all up to you and your students. 

How to get involved

To become a registered GLOBE school, at least one member of your staff needs to attend an INSET training session (usually lasting one day). These are fun hands-on sessions, giving an overview of how GLOBE works, as well as details of a theme such as atmosphere, and practical sessions in the field and using the GLOBE website at www.globe.gov.

Training events are planned around the UK on a demand-led basis. We can deliver local INSET training sessions in schools, at LEAs or in community centres or environmental centres, as long as there are between 6 and 15 people to be trained.  The cost for training is £80 per teacher, inclusive of all manuals and materials. And if you can provide a venue and get at least 6 people there, one person can come for free!

All training sessions are held at sites offering on-line computer facilities, and provide you with a range of materials to help implement the project in the classroom.  We also aim to provide as much support to registered GLOBE schools as possible, answering queries via email and telephone, and also providing school visits to talk to staff and students, if you want.
