Reimagining pedagogy

Abstract

This chapter will discuss two initiatives that are focused on improving youth outcomes by bettering the quality of teaching and learning in government-run secondary schools. The featured case studies, the Mindset Teach program in South Africa and the Skishana Foundation in India, highlight the importance of supporting the development of high-quality instruction, learning standards, content, and professional development and the role these key educational components play in nurturing the academic and the non-cognitive mindsets, habits, and skills youth need to be well-prepared citizens in both a local and global context. They also emphasize the positive impact partnerships (both government and NGOs) and a cross-sectoral approach have on systemic improvements to education.
