Inclusive Distance Education Toolkit

This Toolkit compiles resources on inclusive education, education in emergencies, disability inclusive education, and distance education from across education, humanitarian, and development sectors. The resources can support practitioners across the assessment, design, implementation, and evaluation phases of distance education. These resources suggest workable practices and guidance.

This toolkit comprises three units:

• Unit 1: From Marginalization to Inclusive Education: key foundational information to understand inclusion and define learners who are either marginalized or at risk of marginalization.
• Unit 2: Making Distance Education Inclusive: key concepts of quality learning and approaches to distance education when schooling in its standard form is either unavailable or inaccessible.
• Unit 3: Professional development for inclusive distance education: key tools to support inclusive distance education practices.

Each unit includes sub-sections with resource titles, summaries, and links to the languages the resource is available.

This toolkit is designed for education practitioners working in emergencies and crisis-affected contexts. Practitioners may be local, regional, or global decision-makers, program staff, or professionals who support the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs, including support to teachers.
