| Description |
|
This manual is based upon unique program of curriculum development and research in Australia, which involved more than 150 schools and teachers and was initiated by the Human Rights Commission. Each participant undertook to mount a human rights project of some kind in the classroom or school, and to report in detail to the Commission at the end of the year as to what had worked, what hadn't, and why. To provide a starting point for those unsure of how best to begin, the Commission had developed its own teaching materials, which it made available to those taking part. Teaching for Human Rights provides specific suggestions, proven in practice, of what to do and why, upper primary and secondary teachers who want to foster children's feelings of self-esteem and social tolerance. The suggestions are prefaced by a brief rationale that defines human rights and explains how they are predicated upon a basic set of humane values, that express in turn the complementary feelings identified above. The manual was out of print and has been reproduced in full-text in electronic format. |
