2 weeks ago
UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, education.
The Akelius digital learning application is a tool for fun language learning which presents rich interactive content in a gamified learning environment. Users of the application go through various types of activities which use thousands of micro-steps with instant feedback on progress to individualize learning. This digital learning application is implemented within classrooms in multiple countries with the support of UNICEF country offices, including UNICEF Bosnia and Herzegovina. By implementing the Akelius digital learning application in non-formal and formal educational settings in Una Sana and Sarajevo cantons, UNICEF documented that using the digital application in a blended learning approach in classrooms was especially useful for personalizing learning and supporting children with diverse learning levels and needs. To continue supporting BiH authorities in the blended learning improvements, UNICEF will scale up the Akelius digital language programme to two schools in Tuzla Canon. The two identified schools have a high attendance of vulnerable students, including Roma girls and boys. Therefore, UNICEF aims to support schools with an effective and accessible digital solution to support inclusive quality language education.
How can you make a difference?
The purpose of this assignment is to support the quality implementation of the Akelius digital language programme in two selected schools in Tuzla Canton (primary school Kiseljak Tuzla and primary school Kreka Tuzla).
This implies two-folded responsibilities:
a) support inclusion of Roma children into school language clubs and active participation in the formal education classes through outreach to students, teachers, and the communities, and
b) support teachers to effectively implement the Akelius digital language programme in their teaching through classroom observations, helping teachers' weekly and monthly reporting, the implementation of UNICEF feedback mechanism, support teachers to effectively use the technology and liaise between UNICEF and the two schools in case of any emerging issues.
The consultant will also provide support in improving Accountability to Affected Populations within this programme, ensuring that relevant data collection tools and feedback channels are visible and are being utilized, information is being provided to end-users and data on feedback processed, giving end-users an opportunity to provide feedback on the Akelius Digital Language course in the two primary schools.
The main responsibilities of the consultants include:
Attend the 3-day training for Akelius language course in Tuzla in the week of 24 June. Provide support in including Roma children in school language clubs and encourage their active participation in the formal education classes. This includes informing and preparing the community about the start of the programme, drawing up an action plan for Roma mediation, and overseeing the implementation of the action plan and its adjustment as needed. This should be tailored to encompass the work with the school management and language teachers and communication with parents and children. It should assist tackling language, cultural, and identity-related issues which might influence the Akelius digital language learning programme implementation; Follow-up with the teachers to ensure timely and quality submissions of the weekly (for the first month) and monthly (for all other months) feedback forms; Support schools in ensuring the provided equipment is effectively used and managed; Conduct weekly classroom observations in schools and report on the findings; Ensure effective usage of UNICEF feedback mechanism and ensure information sharing on the programme in the schools; Liaise between schools and UNICEF in case of emerging issues of using the Akelius digital language application.The consultant will be home-based with frequent visits to two schools (at least on a weekly basis for classroom observations and more frequently if needed).
