=__Collaborative International Education Opportunity__=

Building on work done in sharing perspectives across and between schools nationally and internationally, in partnership with the Global Classroom it is proposed to offer a group of juniors or seniors to work with small groups of global partners on the future of education and energy in the Shetland Islands.

It is proposed that a small team of Ridgewood High School students along with a similar number of national and international students undertake research analysis and in turn present their findings on the future of education and energy with a focus on the Shetland Islands for 2009-2010.

The proposed study will be in three stages, beginning with research to gather and analyze information. Participants will be expected to undertake this remotely.

External academic advice and support will be available for both themes and coordination will be undertaken by the International Education Team. Coordination will aim to ensure effective collaboration and cooperation between members. It is envisaged that within the local, national and international groups some will research and investigate education and the future and energy and the future.

The second stage of the proposed study will involve all of the participants meeting in Shetland Islands for a period of up to ten days. It is hoped that Shetland participants will assist with hosting of national and international visitors during the period of shared study planning and preparation.

The third stage will be the presentation of findings on the two themes – education and energy. The presentation of findings will reflect the outcome of the research and analysis done individually and in small groups. It is envisaged that each of the two themes will be presented separately.

The research and analysis part of the program may begin during 2009 with the bulk of the work undertaken in 2010. The timing of the residential part of the program will be negotiated with participating schools locally, nationally and internationally.
