Teacher Resource Centre

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. 

The toolkit offers an introduction to gender-responsive pedagogy in early childhood education and serves as a practical guide that can be adapted to any context and the related needs. It provides teachers at early education practical tips to ensure they are able to offer children a learning environment that is free of prejudice and stereotypes. It is a source of ideas that individual teachers and school leaders can put to immediate use in their classrooms and schools. The toolkit was pre-trialled in three countries: Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia, and it can be contextualised for implementation in different African countries.
