Course Description

The WASH in Schools (WinS) Distance-Learning Course is taught by Dr. Matthew Freeman at Emory University as part of the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health Seminar: Design, Delivery, and Assessment of WASH in Schools (590R). The course is designed by the Center for Global Safe WASH at Emory University in collaboration with UNICEF to assist program managers, implementers, and policymakers in executing and sustaining WASH in Schools programs in partnership with local, sub-national, and national stakeholders. This course has been offered 12 times with over 612 graduates from 75+ countries and includes lectures from global leaders in WASH. This course covers recent WASH in Schools initiatives and introduces participants to key evidence from literature and lessons learned to help maximize program impact and sustainability. Considering the vast experience and diverse backgrounds of participants, the course also provides a platform for cross-sectoral learning and experiences sharing with WASH in Schools programs.



Learning Outcomes

We expect that at the end of this course, participants will be able to:

(1) Assess the situation in existing schools to identify the extent to which those schools meet WASH standards and targets

(2) Choose appropriate ‘software’ and ‘hardware’ components of a WASH in Schools program and identify mechanisms through which the activities will be delivered

(3) Prepare and implement comprehensive and realistic plans to monitor and evaluate WASH in Schools programs, to promote the sustainable delivery of ‘basic’ and universal access to drinking water, sanitation and handwashing in schools



Course Modules

The course addresses core areas of WinS programming within 9 modules that will help participants identify areas of intervention, articulate what the program will do to bring about change, and how program success can be measured.



Course Activities

All course content (including PowerPoint slides, lecture recordings, readings, and assignments) will be available on Canvas. Participants are expected to:

(1) Read module summaries and assigned key readings prior to watching recorded lecture videos

(2) Watch recorded lectures for each module (1 hour) and answer knowledge checks anytime during the week

(3) Attend weekly discussion sessions (Zoom) and complete brief in-class activities and assignments

(4) Engage and contribute to discussion



Certificate

Upon completion of the course, participants will be given a certificate from Emory University’s Center for Global Safe WASH and UNICEF.
