Designed to be used by individuals with a range of expertise (from classroom teachers, to programme leaders, to parents with no formal training in education), the goals of these curricula are to provide project-based activities which reinforce Panwapa’s educational goals in meaningful ways. The educational goals of Panwapa are as follows: </p> <p> <ol > <li>Awareness of a Wider World </li> <li>Appreciating Similarities and Differences</li> <li>Taking Responsibility for One’s Behaviour</li> <li>Community Participation and Willingness to Take Action</li> <li>Understanding of and Responsiveness to Economic Disparity</li> </ol> </p> <p> These curricula have been developed for use in a modular way—that is, users can select the most appropriate or interesting lessons (or elements within a lesson) for their needs. </p> <p> Three curricula are offered: (1)<a href="#formal_curriculum" rel="bookmark">the Formal Curriculum</a>, (2) <a href="#informal_curriculum" rel="bookmark">the Informal Curriculum</a>, and (3) <a href="#info_booths_curriculum" rel="bookmark">the Information Booths Curriculum</a>. They vary in terms of the amount of experience and time required, and the most appropriate setting in which to conduct them. </p> <p> The last page of each curriculum contains a reproducible Panwapa Diplomat Certificate that can be given out to Panwapa Kids once they have completed these lessons. The certificate is meant both to celebrate what the group has accomplished, and to provide a visual reminder of the group’s continuing commitment to global citizenship and involvement in Panwapa World. </p> <p> We hope that, as an educator and caregiver, you will find these materials useful in preparing kids to contribute to their communities in positive and lasting ways. </p> <p class="headerTxt"><a name="surveys">Panwapa Surveys</a></p> <p> Please consider filling out our educator survey by clicking on the appropriate link below.

The culminating activity of this set of lessons is a service project addressing a local need. The curricular areas covered include social studies, mathematics, language arts, science, and health. While these lessons are most effective when they integrate numerous components of the online Panwapa world, they are designed to be adaptable to settings with a wide range of Internet connectivity and access to technology. In most cases, print alternatives are provided for computer-based and online activities. Please note that outreach kits, each of which includes a copy of Panwapa Magazine and a Panwapa DVD, are available through select Panwapa partnerships for educators with inconsistent Internet access. </p> <p> <b>Who should use these activities?</b> The lessons can be treated as a true scope and sequence, forming a unit intended to be taught at the beginning of the year, or as individual lessons that can be integrated into existing content areas such as maths, social studies, art and language arts. The lessons are designed for classroom educators. </p> <p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><th colspan="2" align="left">Formal Curriculum</th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/FORMAL_PDF/FORMAL_INTRODUCTION.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt="Introduction"></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Introduction</span><br><span class="descriptionTxt">An introduction to the Panwapa Formal Curriculum, including registration information, a welcome letter for parents and families, and an exploration of the Panwapa Adventure Game</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/FORMAL_PDF/FORMAL_LESSON_1.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Lesson 1: Who Am I?

Panwapa’s commitment to fostering community involvement is partially informed by Children for Children, one of our Panwapa partners, who helped to develop some of these activities. Each activity is designed to take place over the course of several meetings, and can usually be completed in two-to-four one-hour meetings. These lessons address a wide range of topics, such as diversity, communication, geography, and the environment. </p> <p> <b>Who should use these activities?</b> Because the lessons are designed for use in informal settings (such as youth groups, after school programmes and private homes), they are accessible to those who may wish to teach about Panwapa but may not have formal training as educators. Furthermore, the activities require few materials and little preparation, and are therefore appropriate for settings with a range of available resources. </p> <p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr><th colspan="2" align="left">Informal Curriculum</th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/INFORMAL_PDF/INFORMAL_INTRO.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Introduction</span><br><span class="descriptionTxt">An introduction to the Panwapa Informal Curriculum</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/INFORMAL_PDF/INFORMAL_LESSON_1.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Lesson 1: Panwapa Paper Quilt</span><br><span class="descriptionTxt">Create a visual representation of what happens when diverse people come together</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/INFORMAL_PDF/INFORMAL_LESSON_2.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Lesson 2: Let’s Travel!</span><br><span class="descriptionTxt">o Pack your suitcases, grab your passports and travel logs, and get ready to travel around the world to learn about new places! </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/INFORMAL_PDF/INFORMAL_LESSON_3.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Lesson 3: Do I Know You?

For kids, investigating and connecting with their communities is the first step in engaging with the larger world. The Information Booth activities are designed to familiarise children with their own communities: instilling a sense of pride in what their communities have accomplished, and a sense of potential about what their communities can become. The curriculum integrates Panwapa online activities into a series of units that result in the creation of an Information Booth about the community. Ideally, at the end of the project, the completed Information Booth will be displayed in an appropriate place in the community. The general topics covered in the curriculum include service learning, social studies, and language arts and communication. </p> <p> <b>Who should use these activities?</b> The Information Booths Curriculum is suitable for use in formal and informal settings, including: classrooms, after-school organisations, community centres and youth groups. The curriculum is intended to be accessible to caregivers who do not necessarily have formal training in education. Group leaders are encouraged to adapt each activity based on available resources. The curriculum is designed for children ages 5-10 years old, and requires access to at least one computer with a working Internet connection. </p> <p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <th colspan="2" align="left">Information Booths Curriculum</th> <tr> <td><a href="PDF/INFO_BOOTHS.pdf" ><img src="images/teachers_guide/pdf_icon.gif" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td align="left"><span class="curric_header">Information Booths Curriculum</span><br><span class="descriptionTxt">Children familiarise themselves with their own community.
