In this guide, there are prompts to support exploration of the content and application to the local context. There are also tips to support educators as they make space and time for professional learning within their busy and, often, stressful lives.

The Quality Holistic Learning Project (QHL), of which this face-to-face workshop is one element, aims to prepare educators to deliver high-quality lessons which support holistic learning for children and youths of diverse backgrounds (refugee, migrant, and/or citizen) within host country, displacement, and crisis contexts. They define quality holistic learning as that which attends to:
- academic, cognitive, and identity development,
- social and emotional learning, and
- mental/psychosocial and physical well-being and which delivers: positive schooling experiences, ● feelings of belonging and safety, growth and development, and equitable outcomes for all learners.
Asset (Strength) Based Pedagogies for Quality Holistic Learning
This open, self-paced course, Asset (Strength) Based Pedagogies for Quality Holistic Learning, was designed by teachers for teachers, especially those working with refugee and vulnerable learners around the world. It is intended to provide an overview of key terminology, concepts, and practices related to asset (or strength) based pedagogies.
Educators who complete this short online course will:
- gain a working understanding of what asset-based pedagogies are and why they are important
- be able to identify ways in which asset-based pedagogies can be applied in the classroom
- examine how to apply asset-based pedagogies in the context of their own work
It will take 3-4 hours, on average, to complete this course. A certificate of participation will be issued upon successful completion. Thank you for your interest and for your commitment to your professional learning and to teaching!
A handbook for use offline is currently being developed, as a parallel tool for learning about asset-based pedagogies. Please contact jkasper@ceinternational1892.org to discuss piloting of this additional material.
