GCED: Advocacy, Practice and Awareness Handbook for Teachers Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: APCEIU | UNESCO Bangkok Purpose and scope of the handbookThis handbook is the second in a series of GCED advocacy and awarenessraising publications. The first was the joint publication by APCEIU and UNESCO(2021) titled Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook.This latest handbook aims to raise awareness among teachers in the Asia-Pacific region on GCED and to equip teachers with knowledge about GCED, its importance and how to teach it, using good practices, to enhance learners’ competences at the classroom level, for society’s overall benefit.Recognizing that education policies, strategies and practices in the Asia-Pacific region reflect GCED in diverse ways, this handbook also seeks to provide a common regional understanding of what GCED is. Who can benefit from this handbook?The major beneficiaries of this handbook are teachers, educators and learners. Through explaining what GCED is and its outcomes, this handbook will enable teachers and educators to develop a deeper understanding of the benefits that GCED brings to learners. This handbook will also help teachers to themselves cultivate the necessary values, knowledge, skills and attitudes, and make the required behavioural changes, as one must become a responsible global citizen first in order to empower others to do so.As a practical guide, this handbook also supports teachers to integrate GCED into their teaching. The handbook provides examples of good practices, compiled from the Asia-Pacific region, that teachers can easily adapt for use in their classrooms to boost GCED values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavioural changes, among learners of all ages. Resources listed in the annex provide teachers with additional support.Policy-makers and school leaders can also benefit from this handbook; it serves as an additional reference to Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook (APCEIU and UNESCO, 2021); to assist them in understanding what support teachers need in delivering GCED. This guide can also provide insights on how to foster resilience and rebuild education systems so that they are better equipped to deal with future crises.

Climate change in the classroom: UNESCO course for secondary teachers on climate change education for sustainable development Year of publication: 2013 Author: David Selby | Fumiyo Kagawa Corporate author: UNESCO This course has been created with the goal of bringing climate change education outside the science classroom into the many other subject areas upon which climate change now has an impact, or will impact in the future, such as ethics, social studies, economics, political science, among others. The course materials are organized into four parts: 1. Course Framework and Overview, 2. Teachers’ Education Course daily materials, 3. Regional Resource Packs, 4. Daily Classroom Materials for teachers. These materials are all described in more detail and can be accessed from the Start Menu found on the following pages. This course is designed to enable teachers at the secondary level from diverse subject areas to introduce climate change education for sustainable development (CCESD) across the curriculum. UNESCO has identified the professional development of teachers in education for sustainable development as the top priority in recognition of the transformative role that teachers and teacher educators need to play in re-orienting education to help realize a sustainable future (UNESCO, 2005, p. 19). But good intentions for the professional development of teachers have fallen short in practice. Although taken up by enthusiasts, teacher education for sustainable development has rarely been mainstreamed, and, where there are courses, is often approached within a disciplinary as opposed to an interdisciplinary frame (Wals, A., 2009). If professional development in education for sustainable development is at an adolescent stage, teacher education in climate change education for sustainable development is in its infancy. For instance, according to a 2009 international comparative study on climate change education and sustainable development in ten countries, climate change education has peripheral status in educational research and practice, and when it is addressed it is only within science education (Læssøe,J. Schnack, K., Breiting, S. & Rolls, S., 2009). There is a clear and present need to respond to climate change challenges through systematic teacher education programmes that are not restricted to a single subject area. This teacher education course is an attempt to fill the current gap and is in line with one of UNESCO’s key objectives for climate change education for sustainable development, that is, to support teacher training on climate change for sustainable development (UNESCO, 2010, p. 9). The programme has four distinctive features: 1. It helps teachers to understand the causes, dynamics and impacts of climate change through a holistic approach. 2. Teachers are exposed to, and experience, a range of pedagogical approaches and techniques, that they can use in their own school environment. This includes engagement of themselves and their students in whole school and school-in-community approaches. 3. Teachers will develop their capacities to facilitate students’ community based learning. 4. Teachers will develop future-oriented and transformative capacities in facilitating climate change mitigation, adaptation, and disaster risk reduction learning. Les changements climatiques dans la salle de classe: Cours de l'UNESCO pour les enseignants du secondaire sur le changement climatique éducation au développement durable Year of publication: 2013 Author: David Selby | Fumiyo Kagawa Corporate author: UNESCO Ce cours a été créé avec l'objectif d'amener le changement climatique l'éducation en dehors de la salle de classe de la science dans les nombreux autres domaines sur lesquels le changement climatique a maintenant un impact, ou aura un impact à l'avenir, comme l'éthique, les études sociales, l'économie, la science politique , parmi d'autres. Les supports de cours sont organisés en quatre parties: 1. Structure du cours et aperçu, cours d'éducation matières quotidiennes 2. Enseignants, Packs 3. Ressources régionales, 4. Quotidiennes Matériel didactique pour les enseignants. Ces matériaux sont décrits plus en détail et sont accessibles à partir du menu démarrer trouvé dans les pages suivantes. Ce cours est conçu pour permettre aux enseignants au niveau secondaire de domaines divers pour introduire l'éducation sur le changement climatique pour le développement durable (ECCDD) à travers le curriculum. L'UNESCO a identifié le développement professionnel des enseignants dans l'éducation pour le développement durable comme priorité absolue dans la reconnaissance du rôle transformateur que les enseignants et les formateurs d'enseignants doivent jouer dans l'éducation de réorientation pour aider à réaliser un avenir durable (UNESCO, 2005, p. 19 ). Mais les bonnes intentions pour le développement professionnel des enseignants sont tombés à court dans la pratique. Bien pris par les amateurs, la formation des enseignants pour le développement durable a rarement été intégré, et où il y a des cours, est souvent abordé dans une discipline, par opposition à un cadre interdisciplinaire (Wals, A., 2009). Si le développement professionnel en éducation pour le développement durable est à un stade adolescent, la formation des enseignants en éducation au changement climatique pour le développement durable est à ses débuts. Par exemple, selon une étude comparative internationale 2009 sur le changement climatique l'éducation et le développement durable dans dix pays, éducation au changement climatique a un statut périphérique dans la recherche et la pratique éducative, et quand elle est adressée, il est seulement dans l'enseignement des sciences (Laessoe, J. Schnack , K., Breiting, S. & Rolls, S., 2009). Il y a un besoin clair et présent pour répondre aux défis du changement climatique par le biais de programmes de formation des enseignants systématiques qui ne se limitent pas à une seule matière. Ce cours de formation des enseignants est une tentative de combler le vide actuel et est en ligne avec l'un des principaux objectifs de l'UNESCO pour le changement climatique éducation pour le développement durable, qui est, pour soutenir la formation des enseignants sur le changement climatique pour le développement durable (UNESCO, 2010, p. 9). Le programme comporte quatre traits distinctifs: 1.Il aide les enseignants à comprendre les causes, la dynamique et les impacts du changement climatique à travers une approche holistique. 2.Les enseignants sont exposés, et de l'expérience, une gamme d'approches et de techniques pédagogiques, qu'ils peuvent utiliser dans leur propre milieu scolaire. Cela comprend l'engagement d'eux-mêmes et de leurs élèves à l'école ensemble et approches écoles en communauté. 3.Les enseignants développeront leurs capacités pour faciliter base communautaire d'apprentissage des élèves. 4. Les enseignants développeront les capacités de tournées vers l'avenir et de transformation pour faciliter l'atténuation des changements climatiques, l'adaptation et l'apprentissage de la réduction des risques de catastrophe.
