‘Didactic strategies. A guide for teachers of indigenous education’ is the result of a collaboration between the Mexican National Union of Education Workers (SNTE) and the UNESCO office in Mexico. The guide was developed based on the analysis of a collaborative process involving a team of specialists from the areas of ethnography and pedagogy and comprises a theoretical framework, a methodological proposal and didactic activities that promote the active participation of students in their indigenous language and in Spanish. It also includes teaching materials that indigenous education teachers can adapt to their specific school context, different rhythms and styles of learning and levels of bilingualism.
