In parallel, the platform showcases quality teaching practices to spur reflection, knowledge sharing and peer collaboration among stakeholders at a global scale. The Study is an innovative project that trials new methodologies to deepen our understanding of teaching and learning at an international scale. To have a better-rounded picture of the classroom, the Study collected observation and artefact evidence in addition to survey and achievement data. Its goals were to:

Teaching for Climate ActionTransforming how our next generation thinks and acts about the environment and the world requires profound changes in teaching and learning. And that is why the OECD, UNESCO and Education International ran a joint initiative to gather teacher expertise on what makes a difference in student agency to act and lead on climate matters. Roughly 850 teachers actively contributed to this initiative, with engagement from more than 6500 visitors across 157 countries. The final Summary of InSights report is available in English here, as well as French and Spanish. You can also read the highlights from the initiative here: Teaching in Focus #44-Teaching for Climate Action. This month's Teaching for Climate Action: Video Highlight features Ana, a teacher in Spain, who began an initiative to teach students how to create folders from masks. Learn more on how she inspired students to come up with their own solutions to waste by watching the video! |
