Learning to Read the World?: Teaching and Learning about Global Citizenship and International Development in Post-Primary Schools Year of publication: 2011 Author: Audrey Bryan | Meliosa Bracken Corporate author: Irish Aid This is the first published study of its kind in an Irish context, offering combined insights into the status and practice of Development Education in post-primary schools as well as an interrogation of how development issues are represented in the formal curriculum. It adopted a qualitative approach, enabling a rich description of what Development Education looks like in an Irish context and how it is understood in post-primary schools, as well as an in-depth exploration of teachers’ experiences and views about ‘doing’ Development Education in post-primary settings. Combining an analysis of curriculum materials (including 75 lesson plans and a similar number of textbooks) as well as in-depth interviews with 26 in-career teachers currently teaching Development Education in a broad and diverse cross-section of post-primary schools, the study provides a comprehensive portrait of Global Citizenship Education in Irish second-level schools. The overall aim of the research was to identify the strengths, possibilities and limits in existing pedagogical and curricular approaches to Development Education across a range of subjects at post-primary level in Ireland.

Human Rights Stories: Tales of Human Rights Defenders for Primary Schools Year of publication: 2012 Author: Claire Glavey | Fiona O’Shea | Valeria Navarro Corporate author: Amnesty International Ireland | Irish Aid This resource pack has been developed by Amnesty International Ireland in consultation with an advisory and piloting group of primary school teachers. The concept for the resource pack originated with primary school teachers who identified storytelling as a powerful medium through which a range of concepts and topics can be introduced in the classroom. Human rights issues can appear daunting, distant and theoretical. Through the familiar medium of storytelling, human rights situations can be explored on a level at which children can encounter the real life impact of human rights in practice. Engaging with stories through discussion, creative thinking and character exploration develops the skill of empathy. This brings about the realisation that human rights belong to everyone and that we all have a role to play in ensuring that human rights are protected locally and globally.
