This publication is part of a series of teaching-learning modules developed by UNESCO and P&G Whisper India with the goal of integrating period and puberty education in school curricula. The series is structured into five modules that address key intervention areas related to MHHM, including: 1. building a curriculum that understands the biological and social impacts of puberty; 2. guiding teachers on the menstrual hygiene education curriculum; 3. providing teaching-learning materials geared towards addressing the specific needs of girls with disabilities; 4. highlighting the impact of gender inequalities on menstrual health and hygiene for both girls and boys; and 5. addressing nutritional approaches related to menstrual health and hygiene. This teaching-learning module was developed for teachers working in various contexts and with diverse needs and aims to support them in initiating conversations around MHHM and including the subject in school curricula for students across the gender spectrum. The purpose of this module is to provide facilitators with multiple and comprehensive strategies that lead to positive changes in attitudes, behaviours and practices around menstruation. Each chapter contains explanations of the subject at hand, stories, case studies, learning activities, illustrations and tables designed to provide a better understanding of the issues surrounding MHHM. A glossary is also included to ensure that you, the reader, become familiar with different terms related to menstruation.

This publication has been designed both for new and experienced teachers, as well as other professionals working in non-formal education settings that engage with upper primary and secondary students.  

Purpose: 

1.By using principles of GCED, digital citizenship, and media and information literacy, the guidelines aim to build the capacities of teachers to prepare learners to understand the implications of global and digital transformations on education, and to build opportunities to practice ethical and responsible behaviours in physical and digital environments. They provide guidance on tapping into the positive potential of the digital transformation, including through new access to information, possibilities of connection, and the creation of tailored content.  

2. Build learners’ capacities to think critically about the influences and content that they encounter and engage in creating in physical and digital spaces. 

3. Shape learners’ understanding of global challenges and how they can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through globally oriented digital citizenship.

This short guide provides teachers with action-based approaches to address waste and trash management for sustainable development.

Ce kit de ressources comprend plusieurs éléments qui fournissent aux enseignants des informations sur le pourquoi et le comment de l'intégration du patrimoine vivant dans leurs activités scolaires. Il a été développé dans le cadre de l'initiative UNESCO-UE sur le patrimoine culturel et l'éducation, à l'occasion de l'Année européenne du patrimoine culturel en 2018. Il s'appuie sur des projets développés par des enseignants de 10 pays dans différentes matières.

A set of teacher guides containing each 6 Mental Mathematics Lesson Starter units for Grade 3 learners, in alignment with the South African curriculum. A different calculation strategy is in focus in each unit. These calculation strategies are taken from the curriculum. Each unit covers a particular group of connected skills, and the aim is to move learners on from counting in ones on their fingers or with tally marks on paper.

Each unit is three weeks long; it begins and ends with a short test for the learners. Marking these tests provides information for the teacher and the learners about how much they have improved in using that particular set of skills during the three weeks. Within each unit, the focus is on three types of calculations: fluency, strategic calculating and strategic thinking.

Working through the Lesson Starters in each unit should lead to improvements in learners’ performance from the pre to post-tests. These improvements show progress in mental mathematics skills and number sense.

The guide is available in 11 official languages of South Africa.

This is UNESCO's first resource with a regional focus on teaching to prevent atrocity crimes. It was developed with the United Nations and in partnership with the UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA). The guide was informed by exchanges with African stakeholders and advisors and tested through a piloting exercise with African teachers and students. It provides principles for teachers to consider in facilitating learning and constructive discussions with their students.
