During the previous CAS, i explored on the area of psycho-social support(PSS) for teachers during an emergency situation . My case in point was how teachers would cope with their work during the COVID-19 emergency situation which affected the entire world. PSS is a very wide are in emergency response because it comprises help that could be physical such as provision of food and non food items as well as support for individual emotional and psychological well being. My topic in the CAS was of provision of PSS support as soft skills to help them cope with the upsurge of the covid-19 pandemic and the challenges thereof in their work and the new dispensation in which the teacher would teach and how they could assist their learners to also accept change and develop life skills for resilience. The OER that i would then wish to search are on the topic of life skills. Life skills can be defined as abilities that help a person to cope with challenges of every day life. Life skills topic has three major components of awareness namely;

• Intra-personal skills-Lifeskills of understanding and dealing with one self
• Inter-personal skills--Lifeskills of understanding and dealing with others
• Lifeskills of making effective decision making

Below are some of the OER that i have been able to identify using the X5GON tool

1. COUNSELLING SKILLS FOR TEACHERS
2. Strategies for Academic Success
3. Principles of Social Psychology
