One of the strengths of [[OER4Schools]] is that the programme is build in a participatory fashion. While there is enough scaffolding to just "run with it" as a test, over time you will find yourself considering adaptations. This section provides some ideas for finding further background information, which can also help you tailor the programme. | One of the strengths of [[OER4Schools]] is that the programme is build in a participatory fashion.

The [[OER4Schools]] | The Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa [http://www.tessafrica.net/ (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. As an extension of [[OER4Schools]], you could integrate more TESSA materials, and even develop some new sessions that engage with TESSA materials. | ||
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL), is helping developing nations improve access to quality education and training. The [http://www.col.org/resources/micrositeGender/Pages/default.aspx/ COL gender microsite] contains useful information, in line with our values, to ensure women’s and men’s views, interests and needs shape its programmes. In particular there are resources to run a half-day gender training workshop addressing issues such as gender bias; gender equality and its importance; and gender mainstreaming and how it can be carried out. As an extension of [[OER4Schools]], you could draw on that workshop, and develop a new session on that basis. | |||
[[ASKAIDS]], a research project in Sub-Saharan Africa, focused on understanding how primary age pupils acquire sexual knowledge, in what contexts and how this relates to the HIV education received in schools. In a second phase, toolkit was developed in dialogue with local stakeholders. You could use the [[ASKAIDS|ASKAIDS toolkit]] to develop further sessions, or incorporate materials from [[ASKAIDS]] into a session. | |||
