Centre de Ressources pour les Enseignants

Ce manuel est destiné à soutenir l'organisation d'un atelier d'une journée sur le thème du soutien à l'apprentissage holistique de qualité dans les contextes de crise par la mise en œuvre d'outils et d'activités pédagogiques basés sur les atouts et par le maintien d'espaces d'apprentissage sûrs et sécurisés. Les ateliers sont le résultat des contributions d'une équipe engagée d'enseignants et d'éducateurs du Kenya, du Liban et du Niger.

Le projet d'Apprentissage Holistique de Qualité (AHQ), dont cet atelier en face-à-face est un élément, vise à préparer les éducateurs à dispenser des cours de haute qualité qui soutiennent la formation holistique pour les enfants et les jeunes de divers horizons (réfugiés, immigrants, citoyens) dans le pays hôte, les déplacements et les contextes de crise.

Nous définissons l'apprentissage holistique de qualité comme celui qui vise à:

• un développement scolaire, cognitif et identitaire,
• un apprentissage socio-émotionnel, et
• un bien-être mental/psychosocial et physique et qui délivre : des expériences scolaires positives, un sentiment d'appartenance et de sécurité, la croissance et le développement, et des résultats équitables pour tous les apprenants.

Play is an easy, natural and universal practice that builds resilience. Play comes naturally to all children- and is a seemingly simple and light-hearted phenomenon. The power of play as a pathway to building resilience needs to be leveraged to provide children with the opportunity to further explore play in their home and school environments.

This toolkit is therefore premised on the objectives to build the capacity of various stakeholders such as caregivers/teachers, school managers, curriculum planners and policy makers who are key actors in the process of growth and development of children. It is also aimed at equipping these stakeholders with the knowledge and pedagogical skills to translate research, policy and curriculum to practical knowledge and activities for children in the school environment. The toolkit offers directions for facilitators who will be working with caregivers/teachers using the materials and resources provided and other relevant materials available in an environment where it will be used.

Reading is a fundamental ability for all other learning activities. Students can learn only when they comprehend, and this requires appropriate reading skills in the first place. Appropriate reading skills support the learning of increasing amounts of instructional content. This is why children who fail to learn to read during their early years of schooling will encounter more difficulties in later grades and a higher risk of drop out. Quality early grade reading instruction is critical in preventing these challenges and risks as well as in protecting children’s rights to education and ensuring better chances of success in their life.

Teachers are at the center of reading instruction and they need to be trained with pedagogical knowledge and management skills in order to provide students relevant and quality instruction. It has however been noted that teachers in many countries, especially low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa, lack the proper training and support on ways of teaching early grade reading to their students. Therefore, a comprehensive and practical guide on early grade reading is highly needed to bridge this gap.

This guide aims to empower teachers in Africa by equipping them with the knowledge and skills of early grade reading, including the simple identification of the main pillars of reading, lesson planning and classroom management, taking into account the context in Africa. Subsequently, these teachers will help their students build basic reading skills in their early years of schooling.

Art, music and drama have had a pivotal role in the livelihood of human beings. This is clear by the wealth of literature, architecture, fine art, theater and music that define human past, present and future. The inherent creative ability and a yearning to express ourselves is what gives value to art, music and drama as companion components in human evolution. 

This teacher's guide covers art, music, dance, drama, experiential learning, community engagement, and how to integrate these aspects into curriculum. Additionally, this document provides lesson plans for primary school students in these subject areas. 

Ce guide invite les enseignants à réfléchir aux inégalités de genre dans les manuels scolaires. Elle présente des bases légales et normatives sur lesquelles s’appuient cette question dans le cadre Français, des chronologies, infographies sur l’égalité de genre et l’élaboration des programmes. On y retrouve différents outils à destination des enseignants pour les accompagner au moment d’aborder ces sujets en classe dans différentes matières, ou plus largement dans la vie scolaire.  

The purpose of this teacher guide is to inspire teachers who want to work with climate change and sustainable development with their students. In this guide, you will find examples of teaching activities and teacher reflections on these activities. The activities described should be seen as inspiration. They could be adjusted according to a specific teaching context as preferred, thus aligned with the same objectives and perceived outcomes. The EU-project in which the activities were developed, was carried out with upper secondary students (aged 16-19). With smaller changes by the teachers, younger students can also work with the suggested activities. Beyond the goal of learning about climate change and sustainable development, the activities enable students to practice their critical thinking, and develop their communication and presentation skills.
