Global contexts allow students to explore local, national and global issues and build on powerful themes of global significance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every global context, there are a set of recommended explorations that may be used as pathways to inquire into the said theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-6-1024x569-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-6-1024x569-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-6-1024x569-1-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.toddleapp.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-6-1024x569-1-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers choose a global context for each unit for their subject, along with an exploration, to provide a contextual lens and promote international mindedness amongst students.
