This video is designed to help teachers by giving an introduction to the changes Cambridge have made to the IGCSE syllabus for students sitting from 2025.

This resource breaks down the changes to the Written Paper as shown in the Specimen Paper. Handy quick reference for teachers and students, especially as there are no past papers available and existing papers need to be edited. I will be uploading some examples of the new question types soon.

Welcome your incoming class with this short video made for class Whatsap social media groups.

There are many Team Project marks allocated for Cultural Perspectives but students often struggle to understand how to investigate different cultural perspective in their team project. The focus on different nationalities limits the correct understanding of the concept. This mindmap allows the teacher to introduce and discuss some different cultural perspectives with students.

IGCSE Global Perspectives requires the students to develop the skill of identifying and understanding different perspectives. This resource takes a historical photo related to racism and allows the teacher to make a connection to how it remains a global problem. The students can explore different points of view/perspectives on racism. It is designed in a step by step format which allows the student to develop their understanding.

The lesson plan explores the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement through a video, and focuses on developing students understanding of different cultural perspectives, by using sources to identify different viewpoints about the topic. A complete lesson plan that is divided into different tasks to allow the teacher to complete it within a time frame they are comfortable with. This lesson plan can be used generally for BLM but has been written with IGCSE Global Perspectives in mind.

Students often struggle to understand how to structure their answer to this question, and how to construct the justifications for their choice through use of the mark scheme and the Insert sources. This table acts as a guide, sharing points to help write each paragraph. I have used a question from one of the Cambridge past papers.

For the Global Perspective syllabus from 2025, this concise guide has been prepared to help teachers and students to understand what is required for the New Team Explanation, which is now called an Explanation of Research and Planning. The document can be edited to be used as a template for students to complete their explanation for submission.

The GP team project from 2025 has many changes including to the Personal component, which is the Individual Reflection Paper. This guide can be used by teachers to ensure the students understand the essential elements that must be included within the reflection paper to obtain maximum marks. The guide has been structured in such a way that it can be used as a template for the students to write and construct their reports.

The new GP syllabus from 2025 has a new research design question. With no past paper questions available, this resource has 4 sample questions along the pattern of the specimen paper. It can be used by teachers as practice for students.

IGCSE Global Perspectives Component 3 Team Project requires the students to submit a Reflection Paper. To help break down some key requirements of the project process, and to record them for use later as examples within the Reflection Paper, I have created this Log for students to complete individually. Give your students a print out, or a soft copy, or both to allow them to focus on the important skills and aspects which they will need to reflect on.

This resource contains links to articles and reports on Syria’s notorious prison. There are four activities outlined that can be conducted with students. The activities aim to cover learning about the Prison, and also there are some activities to build skills through the exploration of this topic.

Posters for each one of the six International Baccalaureate themes to display in the classroom, or can be printed off smaller for use in student folders.

A short video based on the new syllabus for students appearing from 2025. It can be used to introduce the subject to your students. It covers key Global issues, syllabus aims, the 3 components and all the topics. Teachers can play the whole video, or pause at each part to explain and discuss with their students.

This resource contains a timeline of key events from 2000 to 2024, with an additional more detailed timeline of the events that took place from November 27th that led to the downfall of Bashaar. Also, there are resources related to maps and articles that can be used to complete two activities. One is a map activity, the other is to create a profile of Bashaar Al Asaad with some analysis of the opinions of his supporters and opponents. The resources can be used to create more activities. The activities are focused on developing understanding and skills.

To fully engage students in their learning journey, and to facilitate their sense of collaboration as a class, I have created this 53 Page Class Memory Journal. Print it off, keep it in the classroom, and encourage the students to help you complete it monthly, so by the end of the year you will have a wonderful journal full of great memories. The journal contains a space for information and photos of the class, and is divided into sections representing each month of the academic school year, with pages to record important events, best memories, a special mention section for those students who have stood out that month, and a section for students to write what life lessons they have learned.
