This package was developed for unqualified or under-qualified teachers often recruited to teach in refugee camps and in a range of other emergency settings. The materials can also be used with qualified teachers who require refresher training, or training in critical areas relevant in crisis contexts, like child protection, and for those teachers who are new to teaching in crisis affected environments.

The training pack responds to a critical gap in open source, competency-based teacher training materials that provide coverage of foundational knowledge and skills required by teachers in crisis contexts, where teacher training is often limited to ad hoc workshops. The pack provides the basis for an in-service training program which can be used in its entirety to prepare unqualified teachers, but is also flexible enough for adaptation and use of selected modules or sessions according to the contextual needs of teachers.
