Emerging Issues Teacher Training Programme - Sierra Leone

In 2008, UNICEF, together with the Sierra Leone Ministry of Education and the national Teacher Training institutions, developed a behaviour change programme for teachers entitled “Emerging Issues.” The course covers a range of topics, including human rights, citizenship, peace, environment, reproductive health, drug abuse, gender equity, and disaster management. The course also includes methodology topics like education theory, classroom management, and teachers as agents of change. Users can adapt this course material to other settings, noting that the materials should be sequenced in a way that progressively builds understanding and skills.
