Inservice Training: How to Reach Teachers in Sixty Minutes to Six Weeks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2021
Extract
Africanists experienced in outreach generally agree that in the long run the most effective way to improve the U.S. public’s knowledge of Africa will be to reach the precollegiate school population. And by extension, the most effective means of reaching that student population is through those persons who determine the substance and scope of materials taught on the precollegiate level: teachers, administrators, librarians, and other support personnel.
