Summary:

It is essential that quality teaching and learning is at the core of emergency response education programming. The Guidance Notes identify realistic mechanisms, approaches and tools to help relief agencies, teacher colleges and education ministries address the complex issues surrounding curriculum assessment, development, monitoring and evaluation in contexts affected by crisis, in order to enable learners to develop core competencies in literacy, numeracy and life skills. The Guidance Notes are not designed as a prescriptive solution or a blueprint response to the challenges of teaching and learning, but instead provide a framework for planning an appropriate strategy for specific local contexts in ways that help to establish and institutionalise good practice and avoid negative consequences.

Building on the INEE Minimum Standards for Education - Preparedness, Response, Recovery, the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) worked with a wide range of partners to develop Guidance Notes and Resource Pack that provide:

• Key principles of quality, relevant and inclusive teaching and learning practice
• Suggested issues to consider when planning and
  implementing quality education programmes
• A collation of resources including sample tools, teaching materials and case studies.
