1. Technical Advisor for Teaching and Learning job at International Rescue Committee -
Deadline of this Job: 26 july 2022
At PlayMatters, we seek a better, more hopeful future for 800,000 refugee and host community children ages 3-12+ living in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. We believe that if we provide these children with more opportunities to build their holistic skills and psychosocial well-being, then girls and boys can become agents of positive change and build a better, more hopeful future for themselves and the planet. Fundamentally, we seek to interrupt the “chalk and talk”, memorization-based teaching methods that are dominant where we work. We build teachers’ skills and motivations to integrate active, play-based, learner-centered methods into their classrooms, across subjects, in alignment with existing curricula, at pre-primary and primary levels, with children aged 3-12+. We facilitate inclusive learning spaces and improved access to teaching and learning materials that support our vision of active learning, including for children outside of the formal education system. To accomplish this, we strengthen and support existing education systems, curricula, teacher professional development models, and community structures to promote and incentivize the use of active and inclusive teaching and learning methods. Working through partners and education stakeholders, we identify, test, and promote innovative strategies that help educators overcome barriers to these changes.
