Module 2 – Adapting and selecting lesson plans

This module aims to equip you with practical skills for adapting and selecting online lesson plans that are relevant, inclusive and appropriate for your specific teaching context. You'll learn how to develop criteria for evaluating and selecting suitable online resources, adapt existing lesson plans to meet local needs and collaborate with other educators to co-create effective lesson plans.

Module 3 – Using the learner as a resource 

This module explores how learners themselves can be powerful resources in the classroom. It aims to help you recognise and draw on learners’ existing knowledge, experiences, languages and skills to enrich learning and create a more inclusive, participatory environment.
