FCA & TWB Distance Education & Digital Pedagogy Manual

This teacher training manual on Distance Education & Digital Pedagogy supports teachers and other education personnel’s continuous professional development in pedagogically high-quality distance education and remote learning especially in diverse, low resource contexts and is adaptable for use anywhere in the world.

The manual has been developed by Finn Church Aid (FCA) and Teachers Without Borders (TWB) Finland. The development of the training materials began already in 2020 as a response to the school lock-down situations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, when teachers and learners quickly had to adapt to remote education modalities. Even though the pandemic has subsided, the need for quality distance education prevails. Ensuring the continuity of learning for all learners is critical in all contexts, even and especially during crisis situations.

The training manual consists of eight (8) training modules that can be used flexibly:

  1. Distance Education,
  2. Distance Education Modalities,
  3. Pedagogy of Digital and Distance Education,
  4. Psychosocial and Emotional Wellbeing,
  5. Learner-Centred Methods in Distance Education,
  6. Home Support – Parents and Caregivers’ Role and Collaboration,
  7. Inclusive Education, and
  8. Assessment and Evaluation.

The content design allows the trainer or facilitator to pick individual modules or sessions and adapt the training content according to the context and target group’s needs.

We hope you find it useful!

Introduction to Asset Based Pedagogies in Displacement Contexts Workshops Facilitation Guide

This manual is intended to support the delivery of one full day workshop on the topic of supporting Quality Holistic Learning in crisis contexts through the implementation of asset-based pedagogical tools and activities and through sustaining safe and secure learning spaces. The workshops are the result of the insightful contributions of a committed team of teachers and educators from Kenya, Lebanon, and Niger.

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. We 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.

Simulation de négociation en faveur de la biodiversité. Kit pédagogique

Ce livret pédagogique propose un parcours en 5 étapes pour enseigner les sujets complexes liés à l’environnement et au développement durable.

Chacune de ces étapes fait avancer les connaissances et les compétences des élèves dans le domaine des négociations internationales sur la biodiversité. Les deux premières étapes introduisent successivement les notions de biodiversité et de négociations internationales. La troisième étape permet aux élèves de s’identifier à l’acteur qu’ils ont choisi de représenter et de s’imprégner de leur rôle. La quatrième étape est le moment phare du projet : les élèves, réunis en délégations, débattent entre eux pour élaborer ensemble des solutions qui feront consensus. Enfin, la cinquième étape permet aux élèves d’agir en réalisant un projet concret en faveur de la biodiversité.
