How to Use GESI responsive pedagogy in the classroom as a Teacher.
The Teacher;
1) is conscious and deliberate about GESI responsive pedagogy (teaching and learning processes) and pays attention to the specific learning needs of girls, boys, and marginalized groups.
2) gives equal chances to females and males to ask and answer questions in class (and provides extra encouragement to girls and other students who may lack confidence).
3) uses adjectives used to characterize both male and female roles and behaviors are positive and interchangeably used; reference males and females as role models, leaders, and historical figures in all learning
resources.
4) uses participatory methods such as group work, debates, and role-play; and ensures equal participation of females & males (giving extra encouragement where needed).
5) pays attention to the composition of females and males during group work and assigns females leadership roles
6) ensures that females have equal access to teaching and learning resources (TLMs, TLRs, books, desks, etc.),
particularly if males are more assertive and take resources first.
7) does not view Persons with Disability (PWDs) in a negative light, as they are usually identified in TLMs.
Often their disability is put before them – for example, deaf man, handicapped child, blind girl, etc.
8) checks to see if both females and males understand the lesson and are patient with females and males who may
be shy or afraid to speak.
9) Provide constructive/positive verbal feedback to both females and males in class.
10)does not use negative expressions or language that demeans, excludes, or gives females the impression that are not as intelligent or do not need to perform as well as males.
11)does not use harsh/threatening and demeaning language
or actions that instill fear in both females and males
