标题：Providing Staff Development in Teaching Strategies and English Language Conversation at North Pare Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT) Dioceses Secondary Schools in Tanzania, Africa
摘要：The following report evaluates a seminar provided by Walsh through the Bethesda Lutheran Church Tanzanian ministry organization on teaching strategies and conversational English provided at Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT) secondary schools in the Pare region of Tanzania, Africa. The staff development included training and support in the use of computer technology available at the schools, donated from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg, Germany. The staff development was a follow-up to earlier training sessions provided at the schools in 2006 and 2008. Description of the seminar planning procedures, curriculum guide, subjects, methodology and project evaluation is presented, along with discussion about the use of technology with participants at the schools. Recommendations for future delivery and use of the project materials is also discussed. The seminar curriculum materials were designed to provide Tanzania teachers, with limited resources and teaching methodologies, to engage students more actively in learning and developing problem-solving skills. It is the intent the seminar experience will provide support for more organizations (e.g., student university internships and church-based sister congregations) as they come on board to support the African Tanzanian communities. The staff development was provided to teachers at secondary schools representing the Muslim, Maasai, and Christian faiths and cultures.
