This module aims to build teachers' understanding of gender concepts and disparities in education, and their practical ability to apply gender-responsive pedagogy in lesson planning, classroom management, teaching materials, and assessment. It further seeks to build capacity to prevent, identify, and respond appropriately to school-related gender-based violence, to interpret national and international gender-in-education policy frameworks, and to develop and implement gender-responsive lesson plans and school-level gender action plans that promote safe, equitable, and empowering learning environments.
This module aims to build teachers' personal competence in the ten core WHO life skills — self-awareness, coping with emotions, coping with stress, communication, interpersonal relationships, empathy, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving — and their practical ability to teach these skills using participatory, experiential methods. It further seeks to build capacity to apply life skills to health-related risk situations such as peer pressure, substance abuse, and sexual and reproductive health, and to integrate life skills teaching across the curriculum and co-curricular school life.
