Investing in our teachers today for the students of tomorrow

Computer Science is increasingly being used to solve some of the world’s most complex and challenging problems. Today, learning to code is just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. Knowledge of computer science is essential for the youth of Africa so that they have the opportunity to design and build the future tools that the world will use.

Since 2009, Google’s Computer Science for High School (CS4HS) programmes have helped over 20,000 teachers worldwide gain expertise in computer science (CS) and learn valuable skills for teaching CS to students. Despite these accomplishments, there’s still a long way to go in supporting teachers to understand the critical principles of CS education, as shown in recent research carried out by Gallup (and commissioned by Google).

Research drives why we invest in CS teacher professional development and informs the design of our programmes. We believe that regionally-based professional development is the best approach to meeting the specific needs of local teachers.That’s why we are encouraging colleges, universities, and educational nonprofits across Africa to apply for an award of up to $15,000 from the 2016 CS4HS Awards. We’re also looking to fund applications that include strong plans for the establishment of new or existing communities of practice. These communities will bring teachers together to encourage and support each other in their learning and ongoing professional development.

Investir aujourd'hui dans les enseignants pour le étudiants de demain

De plus en plus, l'informatique permet de résoudre certains des problèmes complexes et épineux qui se posent au monde. Aujourd'hui, savoir programmer est devenu aussi important que savoir lire, écrire et compter. Il est donc essentiel pour la jeunesse africaine de connaître l'informatique pour pouvoir concevoir et bâtir les outils que le monde utilisera demain .

Depuis 2009, les cours de la CS4HS (Computer Science for High School) de Google ont aidé plus de 20.000 enseignants à travers le monde à enrichir leurs connaissances de l'informatique et à acquérir de précieuses compétences pour enseigner l'informatique aux étudiants. Malgré ces avancées, il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour aider les enseignants à maîtriser les principes essentiels de la pédagogie informatique, comme le révèle l'étude menée récemment par Gallup à la demande de Google.

Cette étude nous a confortés dans l'idée qu'il fallait investir dans la formation des enseignants informatiques et a orienté nos choix dans le contenu des programmes. Nous pensons qu'investir dans le développement professionnel au niveau régional est la meilleure approche pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques locaux des enseignants. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous encourageons les écoles, universités et organismes éducatifs à but non lucratif, à déposer leur dossier pour tenter de gagner jusqu'à 15.000 de dollars US à l'occasion des CS4HS Awards 2016. Nous entendons également apporter notre soutien aux candidatures solidement orientées vers l'établissement de communautés de pratiques nouvelles ou existantes. Ces communautés permettront aux enseignants de se réunir, de s'encourager mutuellement et de s'entraider dans leur apprentissage et leur développement professionnel.
