Developing science, mathematics, and ICT education in Sub-Saharan Africa : patterns and promising practices
'Developing Science, Mathematics and ICT in Secondary Education' is based on country studies from ten Sub-Saharan African countries: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and a literature review. It reveals a number of huge challenges in science, mathematics and ICT (SMICT) education in sub-Saharan Africa: poorly-resourced schools; large classes; a curriculum hardly relevant to the daily lives of students; a lack of qualified teachers; and inadequate teacher education programs. Through examining country case studies, this paper discusses the lessons for improvement of SMICT in secondary education in Africa.

Infusing Technology in the 6-12 Classroom
6-12 teachers will discover how to integrate the tech requirements found within today's academic standards into their everyday curriculum.
Perhaps your district provides current technology development for staff on a regular basis and has instructional coaches to help teachers infuse technology into their curriculum to meet various academic standards. But in reality, most districts don't have this kind of support. In this book (the second in a two-book series), you'll learn how to shift your instructional practice and leverage technology to meet today's curriculum education standards for grades 6-12. This book doesn't cover every 6-12 national standard, but identifies the standards with a technology component and provides resources and lessons to help you teach those standards effectively.
This book includes:
* Classroom-tested lesson ideas in English language arts, math, science and social studies mapped to ISTE and tech-related standards to support college- and career-readiness.
* Lists of technology-embedded college- and career-readiness standards for each grade level, along with practical ideas and up-to-date resources (apps, software and websites) that can be used in meeting these standards.
* Suggestions for addressing roadblocks to incorporating technology in the classroom.
* Ways to incorporate staff development and parental support at the school level.
* Access to a companion website with information on the tools referenced in the text.
With the implementation of these strategies, you'll help your students become self-directed and critical readers, writers and thinkers so they're better prepared for the future!
Audience: 6-12 educators, curriculum specialists, tech coordinators
