INEE have launched the second edition of Teachers in Crisis Contexts: Promising Practices in Teacher Professional Development, Well-being, Management, and School Leadership now accessible in 2 compilations:

Promising Practices in Teacher Professional Development.

Promising Practices in Teacher Well-being, Management, and School Leadership.

The transformative power of teachers as change-makers in their classrooms and communities is more evident now than ever.

The detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing conflicts and crises across the globe have made clear the critical role of teachers in delivering quality, inclusive, and equitable education that supports student learning and well-being.

It is paramount that the Education in Emergencies sector shares and learns from promising policies, practices, and research approaches for supporting teachers in crisis contexts.

This compilation includes eighteen new case studies, alongside twenty-four from the first edition published in 2019, that represent a diversity of contexts, organizations and teacher profiles. They provide an inspiring and innovative range of strategies that support teachers to achieve all they aspire for: for themselves, and for their learners.

This compilation is available via the links above in English with Arabic, French, Portuguese and Spanish coming soon!
