Development Education
for
Transition Year Students
About this Resource:
This course began in response to schools who felt that development or global issues needed a specific place within their school study programme. A partnership of teachers, students, NGOs and a third level institution have been working together over the past 3 years to develop a unique resource and approach to engaging students with development issues that affect our place in the world today. The course has been tried and tested in the classroom and has been continually adapted to input from all partners.
A 'Guideline' booklet is available and contains the relevant information needed to implement the course in your school.
Irish Aid funded the development of the course. At present, the course is being embedded in schools with the assistance and support of the Development Education Officers in Self Help Africa and the Education Officer, Combat Diseases of Poverty Consortium, NUIM.
There are now 32 schools engaging with the project. The schools are located in 4 clusters in West Dublin, Carlow, Midlands and Donegal.
This Development Education pack offers guidelines and access to resources for second level teachers who want to integrate Development Education in their teaching. Divided into seven distinct modules: (Poverty, Gender, Conflict, Health/HIV/AIDS, Human Rights, Trade and Fair Trade, and Sustainability), it provides a wide range of the best resources available on Development Education. With this pack you will develop your skills and confidence as a teacher using active-learning methodologies.We all have a role to play in making the world a better place.
