TESSA: Dealing with Sensitive Issues - Audio

Teachers' responsibilities extend to dealing with a number of sensitive topics and ensuring that their pupils have the knowledge and skills to cope with difficult situations. In these short dramas teachers encounter a number of incidents: 'Aduja’s Predicament'– potential abuse; 'The Notorious Fighter' - an aggressive pupil; and 'The Chase and Where do Babies' come from - misunderstandings and classroom myths.
Each drama poses a dilemma for the listener to discuss.

The clips in this album are designed to be used to support the development of teachers' classroom practice in both formal and non formal learning situations. This material is from the TESSA (Teacher Education in Sub Saharan Africa) initiative.
