Play & resilience: a toolkit for teachers, caregivers, and other stakeholders
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.

Teacher Guide for Working with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
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.
Blueprint and Toolkit for School-Based Teacher Development: Secondary
Created by Bob Moon, this Blueprint and Toolkit offers guidance and resources to support a 12–15 week program. It provides a detailed framework that can be tailored to suit the specific needs of a country, region, district, or school. Aimed at institutions looking to strengthen school-based teacher development (SBTD) to enhance school performance and improve student achievement, this resource is available as Open Educational Resources (OER), making it accessible to policymakers and those involved in implementing teacher development systems.
"Section 4: The Teacher Toolkit: Secondary" is organised around ten key questions. In responding to each question, you will find general commentary on the issues involved and activities that you can try out with your classes. There are also some descriptions of other teacher’s experiences to provide further guidance for you. The accompanying Key Resources should be used alongside the Blueprint and Toolkit when working through each question. The most relevant Key Resources in each case are listed at the beginning of each question.

Teachers in crisis contexts peer coaching pack
In crisis contexts, where many teachers are untrained or undertrained, continued support is needed most; yet professional development in these settings is sporadic, of varied quality and often lacks any follow up support post-training. To address this lack of quality professional support for teachers in crisis contexts, the Teachers in Crisis Contexts Reference Group (TiCC) published the Training for Primary School Teachers in Crisis Contexts training pack in March 2016, a competency-based training designed specifically for teachers working in emergency settings.
Following the publication of the training pack, the TiCC began work on complementary Peer Coaching materials. Peer Coaching is continuous professional development (CPD) led by teachers for teachers. The continuous support teachers are able to provide to one another through Peer Coaching helps teachers make sustained positive changes in their teaching practice. Peer Coaching provides this support through two main activities: 1) Teacher Learning Circles (TLCs), and 2) Classroom Observations.
The main components include: The Facilitator’s Guide; Peer Coaching Toolkit, Level 1 - TLCs only; and Peer Coaching Toolkit, Level 2 - TLCs plus classroom observations.
Cognitive load theory: Research that teachers really need to understand
To improve student performance, teachers need to understand the evidence base that informs and helps improve their practice. An area of research with significant implications for teaching practice is cognitive load theory.
This paper describes the research on cognitive load theory and what it means for more effective teaching practice. The first part of the paper explains how human brains learn according to cognitive load theory, and outlines the evidence base for the theory. The second part of the paper examines the implications of cognitive load theory for teaching practice, and describes some recommendations that are directly transferable to the classroom.
