This publication by the UNICEF Office of Innovation explores the transformative potential of mobile phones in education. It highlights how mobile devices, particularly messaging platforms, have become essential tools for learning continuity and accessibility. The guide emphasizes the role of teachers in advocating mobile learning, outlines pedagogical strategies for message-based teaching, and addresses ethical considerations, planning, and content creation. By leveraging mobile connectivity, educators can foster inclusive, flexible, and impactful learning experiences across diverse contexts. 

This resource part of UNICEF’s Superstar Teachers Toolbox, empowers educators to integrate technology meaningfully into their teaching. Designed for both novice and tech-savvy teachers, it offers practical strategies for planning and implementing digital pedagogy. The guide emphasizes learner-centered approaches, strategic use of digital tools, and pedagogical priorities. Structured into three chapters -planning, implementation, and additional resources- it supports educators in enhancing student engagement, creativity, and achievement through thoughtful digital transformation in education. 

Ce guide, initié par la Fondation Tara Océan en collaboration avec plusieurs agences et fondations, vise à familiariser les acteurs éducatifs avec les Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD). Destiné aux enseignants, conseillers pédagogiques, formateurs, et autres, il propose des ressources pratiques pour intégrer les ODD dans l'enseignement. Structuré par questions, il facilite une lecture adaptée aux besoins et inclut des définitions, des méthodes pour aborder les ODD en classe, et des ressources utilisables dans les activités éducatives. 

Le guide propose une analyse réflexive des pratiques professionnelles pour le développement et l'amélioration de l'enseignement. Il contient six fiches-action, allant de l'analyse des pratiques et représentations sociales, au dialogue entre experience et savoir théoriques. Ces fiches peuvent être utilisés comme outil de formation initiale par des formateurs ou en autonomie par des enseignants en travail collaboratif ou en co-formation, ou par un enseignant seul en autoformation qui souhaite travailler sa pratique réflexive pour améliorer la qualité de son enseignement-apprentissage. 

Ce guide destiné aux enseignants et directeurs d’établissement vise à faciliter la création de communautés d’apprentissage professionnelles (CAP) dans les écoles. Il résulte de recherches collectives et est conçu pour une utilisation autonome. Le guide se divise en trois chapitres : le premier clarifie le concept de CAP, le deuxième propose des outils pour leur mise en place et suivi, et le troisième explore l'usage des TIC pour leur développement. Il encourage la collaboration et le partage d’expertise pour améliorer les pratiques pédagogiques et le développement professionnel continu des enseignants.
