This open, self-paced course, Asset (Strength) Based Pedagogies for Quality Holistic Learning, was designed by teachers for teachers, especially those working with refugee and vulnerable learners around the world. It is intended to provide an overview of key terminology, concepts, and practices related to asset (or strength) based pedagogies.
Educators who complete this short online course will:
- gain a working understanding of what asset-based pedagogies are and why they are important
- be able to identify ways in which asset-based pedagogies can be applied in the classroom
- examine how to apply asset-based pedagogies in the context of their own work
It will take 3-4 hours, on average, to complete this course. A certificate of participation will be issued upon successful completion. Thank you for your interest and for your commitment to your professional learning and to teaching!
A handbook for use offline is currently being developed, as a parallel tool for learning about asset-based pedagogies. Please contact jkasper@ceinternational1892.org to discuss piloting of this additional material.
