Consultant – Basic Numeracy Training Material

The BLN program has been specifically designed for use with out of school children (ages 10-14) in Lebanon. The program has been tailored by War Child to be equally applicable to refugee contexts, and for Lebanese children who find themselves outside of the formal education system. The overarching goal of this program is to provide at risk children with basic proficiency in the fields of literacy and numeracy. The BLN program is aligned with Lebanon’s educational standards. Due to the programs alignment with the Lebanese national curriculum, successful completion of this program should prepare learners to continue their studies in Lebanon’s formal education system. The content of this BLN program covers materials equivalent to grades 1-3 in the Lebanese national curriculum.

Main Tasks:

• To develop the core training material for teachers/facilitators teaching out of school children basic numeracy.
• To develop an accompanying participant handbook for the training participants. This handbook will act as a resource for teachers/facilitators throughout their participation in the training and beyond. It will enable them to continue to develop their skills and to train others.
• To design and deliver an intensive (one day) training of trainers for the Basic Numeracy programme to orient participants on the new curriculum so they can later cascade the training to others.
