Abstract
What does a globalized curriculum look like for diverse learners in primary schools?
Highlights
Children in our classrooms today come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and some have English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Robinson (2010) consider that primary schools have to address new challenges of global knowledge and looking at the process of inclusive education through the lens of globalization in curriculum topics to help meet the needs of pupils with EAL
We suggest that primary leaders need a clear, whole-school understanding of what globalization means for them in their particular context, regardless of their setting. This may require whole-system leadership (Wheatley, 2006) – whereby everyone in the system is engaged in serving the needs of all – which suggests the need to develop good relationships
