Guidelines and Tools

This guidance note first outlines key principles for a gender-responsive approach to education programming and addresses some of the most common misconceptions and arguments against gender-responsive education. It then gives concrete strategies and actions for putting gender equality into practice in the major domains of education in emergencies, framed by the INEE Minimum Standards.

The SISL Self-Reflection Tool aims to stimulate professional dialogue and collaborative policy development within and across schools and at different policy levels. It is intended for:

• school leaders and leadership teams seeking guidance in adopting and developing inclusive leadership practices;
• policy-makers responsible for developing and implementing policies for inclusive education at national, regional and/or local levels.
