Empowering Students for Just Societies: A Handbook for Secondary School Teachers

The purpose of the handbook is to:

• Provide teachers with a selection of relevant and accessible in-classroom and out-of-classroom educational resources (summaries of short activities, lessons, units) that aim to instil the principles of the RoL among secondary school students.
• Assist teachers in applying the teaching resources to their local educational settings by providing ideas for adaptation for a variety of learning environments.

 

This handbook provides:

• Summaries of existing teaching resources selected from UN agencies, INGOs, NGOs, and ministries that work to meet the learning outcomes on GCED for the RoL.
• Links to the original resource that offers additional learning opportunities.
• Tips and suggestions for adaptation, extension and cross-references of teaching resources; and Suggestions for learning assessment.

 

This handbook can be useful for: 

 

• Teachers and teacher trainers in formal school settings at the secondary school level. It encourages teachers to strengthen the RoL through education by integrating it into their lessons and planning.
• Professionals working in non-formal education or engaging with young people, for example, in sports associations, community organizations, social work and the justice sector.
• Parents seeking to raise empowered young citizens who actively contribute to peace and justice.
