“…During indigenous education, sports and games in the form of physical activity were practiced according to the needs of society at that time. However, the arrival of Arabs and Westerners had an effect on traditional physical activity [16][17][18][19][20]. Arabs, Germans, and British all had religious beliefs and educational objectives for Tanzanians that affected the local traditional physical activity [21] Ndee, 1996; Wizara ya Elimu na Utamaduni, 1995 [22].…”

Research suggests that sports have the capacity to connect youth to positive development adult models, provide development opportunities, and promote the learning and application of life skills. The purpose of this study was to assess the status of sports and games in public secondary schools in Temeke Municipality. The objectives were to explore the kinds of sports and games practiced in public secondary schools and to assess the infrastructures and facilities of sports and games in public secondary schools. The study was guided by social development theory, which insists on interaction with peers as an effective way of developing skills and strategies. The study used a mixed method approach and a descriptive survey research design. The sample involved 106 participants, including 1 ward education officer, 6 school heads, 12 teachers, and 87 students. The data were collected through an interview guide, questionnaires, and documentary review. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. It was revealed that in all sampled secondary schools, the sports and game practices were almost the same, such as football, netball, and volleyball. However, these facilities were observed to be below the required standard. On the basis of the findings, the study concluded that the status of sports and games in secondary schools in Temeke is wanting, given the limited number of facilities and infrastructure for sports and games. Therefore, stakeholders should ensure that secondary schools have adequate infrastructure to enable students to realize the benefits of participation in sports and games.

“…Bass et al (2011) recommended at least five JCEL case studies involving administration or supervision of school personnel. JCEL has since published numerous personnel case studies (i.e., Allison, Schumacher, & Hammonds, 2013; Byrne-Jiménez & Orr, 2013; Hackmann, 2012; Karpinski, 2012; Marker, Mitchall, & Lassiter, 2013; Paige, 2013; Walker, 2010), which could be used to supplement postsecondary programs for preparing school leaders. While many of the JCEL case studies mention emotion, complexity of some issues or pressures associated with making good decisions for staff and students, recommendations for school leaders managing or regulating emotion in leadership are not included in case discussions.…”

To build capacity for students in educational leadership programs, we developed a teaching case study focused on managing emotion for ethical decision making in supervision of personnel. The case offers troubling encounters between a secondary assistant principal and a novice teacher, a veteran teacher, and a veteran administrator. Scenarios include issues of confidentiality, politics, and the tension between educators’ professional ethical principles and an established more laissez-faire school climate and culture. Readers are guided to consider the role of emotion in leadership and how self-reflection can be used as a process for managing emotion.

Studies have shown that there are not enough qualified foreign language and English as a second language teachers in this country. To increase the number of new second language teachers who remain in the profession, and to promote their use of best teaching practices, the ACTFL has identified mentoring as a national research priority. The importance of mentoring is further reflected in the new national standards established by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) for teacher education programs. To address CAEP standards for advanced licensure programs and meet the needs of new second language teachers, a peer mentoring project was initiated. Using a mixed methodology, the researchers investigated the perceived benefits of a partnership between 27 mentors in an advanced licensure second language teaching program and 27 mentees, many of whom were practicing “lateral entry” second language teachers who had not yet completed second language teacher training. The results suggested that, when both parties shared content area expertise and worked together in a nonjudgmental, supportive manner, the partnership was mutually beneficial. The results also suggested that the relationship can be facilitated when both partners share certain commonalities, including age and amount of previous teaching experience.
