Many teachers work in difficult contexts. They may have large classes. They may have few resources. The pupils in these contexts are not likely to have resources at home to compensate for limited school resources.
A group of teachers working in such circumstances recently brainstormed suggestions about how to be resourceful despite such difficult conditions. They came up with many ideas and decided that the following seven were most useful:

Each Key Resource provides practical advice about a particular classroom approach (e.g. group work) or skill (e.g. questioning). They are suitable for primary and secondary teachers, and for teacher educators designing learning experiences for pre-service or in-service teachers.
The approaches and skills described in the Key Resources are exemplified in activities and case studies, throughout the TESSA Subject Resources. As teachers and teacher educators try out these activities, they will develop expertise in a range of skills and classroom approaches. It is important to remember that there are no rules or ‘recipes’ for these approaches, rather a few guiding principles. How an individual teacher or teacher educator manages each approach will depend on the topic they are teaching, the context, the learners and their own ‘teaching personality’. Expertise will come through practice, and reflection on that practice. The TESSA Key Resources set out the guiding principles.
As with all the TESSA OER, the Key Resources can be copied, adapted and distributed as single resources, or as a complete set.
A unit containing all of the TESSA Key Resources can be downloaded in PDF and Word format from the Downloads box below. Alternatively individual Key Resources can be downloaded from the Downloads box in their corresponding Key Resource section.

Teachers play a critical role in student learning. Listening to their needs, protecting their safety and well-being, and helping them adapt their approaches to teaching and learning appear to be pivotal to help them succeed when they return to school after the COVID19 crisis. Here are 7 ways to help teachers succeed when schools reopen.
The 63 million teachers affected by school closures during the COVID-19 crisis are playing a crucial role in ensuring that learning continues, often in difficult circumstances. Now the same teachers are on the front line of a new challenge: making sure that the reopening of schools goes smoothly.
Giving teachers the best chance of succeeding as they return to school means listening to their needs, protecting their safety and well-being, and helping them adapt their approaches to teaching and learning. These are the themes of new guidelines about school reopening by UNESCO, the International Labor Organization and the Teacher Task Force.

In order to obtain a clearer view of the status of learning during this period, and to better support countries in the immediate, short and long term, ADEA engaged some of the most affected African countries in March 2020 to map the national situation in the education sector. Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia provided a large range of elements in terms of national strategies, platforms and tools or applications, gaps and challenges, partner engagement, good practices and lessons learnt with some recommendations. This will enable ADEA, together with other partners, to formulate relevant support strategies and share with other African countries for peer learning and experience exchange.

TESSA newsletter, February 2018, by Michèle Deane, TESSA, and Geneviève Puiségur-Pouchin, editor of Apréli@ collection for school leaders (extract) :
"The school has an increasing importance as the locus of professional development for teachers. School-based CDP can focus directly on teaching practices and the practicalities of improving the quality of teaching. … However, leadership is critically important for this kind of school-based teacher education.” (Cullen et al, 2012)
“The role of school principals is crucial for establishing, shaping and fostering instructional quality.” (OCDE, 2016)
[A school leader:] “Someone who creates the space that fosters teachers’ professional and personal development, and encourages students’ personal growth, creativity, and their own journey of discovery.” (Saavedra, J. 2017)
The role of schools as communities of professional learning and development (CPLDs) and that of their leaders as enablers of the professional growth of their staff and leaders of these CPLDs are a theme that often appears in the current quest for strategies to meet the 2030 Development Goals.
It is however the case that school leaders have not necessarily been equipped, let alone trained to accomplish this new role and transform their schools into CPLDs.

The Apréli@ educational e-twinning resources are available in English and in French on the dedicated website so that English speaking classes can participate in e-exchanges between countries in Africa and other regions of the world.
The availability of the Apreli@ resources in English and French also facilitates e-exchanges between French speaking and corresponding English speaking classes.
Through the Apréli@ e-twinning remote classes can carry out joint teaching and learning activities enabling them to share and collaborate in order to produce a digital travel diary to the partners’ environment. The Apréli@ e-twinning is an African initiative that implements digital uses matched to African educational needs. It develops innovative uses of African OER (Open Educational Resources) promoting learner-focused active learning and supports teachers in their implementation.
This site contains resources that classes participating in e-twinning Apréli@ can use and to which they can contribute.
Taking into account the pilot year evaluation results and the lessons learned, we have made minor changes to the files. The modified files were put online in early October 2012.
In addition, we have developed a set of resources for teacher educators. To access these, click 'Teacher Educator's Resources'
We hope that these resources meet the needs of teacher educators and teachers who involved their classes in the rich experience of the e-twinning activities.
We thank all those of you who are willing to share your appreciation of these resources. All your contributions will be very most valuable to help to improve the resources continuously and collectively.
We wish you all many rich and friendly exchanges, and great satisfactions both professionally and personally.

It builds on experience gained over many years and on the strategies and tools developed by many organizations and individuals working on inclusive education and, more recently, in the area of establishing Child-Friendly Schools. This Toolkit is meant to be user-friendly and a means of inspiration for teachers who find themselves working in ever more diverse classrooms. The Toolkit offers support for inclusive, learning-friendly environments and for creating and managing them through the full participation of educators, students, parents, and community members.
