The active pedagogy for all teachers through TESSA OER

Abstract

One major observation about teaching in many West African schools is that there is no direct link between what is taught. Queries are therefore raised about this reality. Teachers at GSTS Baal (Groupe Scolaire Tierno Sylemani Baal), a private school (primary and secondary) on the outskirts of Guédiawaye in Dakar (Senegal), have shown the need to develop professionally as they find the means to achieve this goal. This paper backs the necessity to equip teachers with tools that drive them to look for open resources and active pedagogy to enhance their teaching methods.
