The Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (TESSA) programme provides OER classroom resources and guidance materials for use by teachers and teacher educators with the aim of improving the quality of teaching and learning at primary school level across Sub-Saharan Africa. Where appropriate we have drawn on these materials to enhance elements of this course e.g in Unit 2, questioning and concept mapping.

Using parts of OER4Schools
If you are not following the OER4Schools programme as a programme, but you prefer to use individual parts, you may find the following useful.
Many of our classroom activities and suggestions for workshopactivities, as well as other supporting materials are availablehere, such as
- OER4Schools lesson plan (blank)
- OER4Schools activity template (blank)
- OER4Schools/Netbook familiarisation
- OER4Schools/Collaborative writing with EtherPad
Much of our resource draws on video specifically produced for this programme, and video is embedded throughout our resource. However, you can also access the video clips directly, for instance:
- Video clips from a lesson on rectangles
- Video clips from a lesson on classifying vertebrates
- Video clips from a lesson on the power of two / Exponentials
- Video clips on 3D shapes
The videos often come with explanatory text, and questions for reflection. Our videos are also available from our YouTube site, see http://www.youtube.com/user/OER4Schools.
