F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

Discussion question: What role can mobile technology play in assessing learners' progress and attendance monitoring in low-resource settings?  

Despite huge strides being made in access to education, this has not transpired into learning for all. While we would very much like to include a killer fact here on exactly how many children are in school and are not learning, the truth is that nobody is quite sure.

In the upcoming webinar, Sarah Pouezevara (RTI International) and Mike Dawson (Ustad Mobile) will discuss how they are leveraging mobile technology to assess learners’ progress and monitor attendance in low-resource settings.

Topic Using Tangerine(TM) to capture learning (and teaching!) progress in low-resource settings.

Profile Sarah was one of the original designers of the Tangerine data collection system, which is widely used for large-scale early grade reading and math assessments in low-resource contexts.  Over the past 6 years, since its first use in Liberia in 2010, it has evolved to serve many purposes apart from sample-based data collection.
