This research aimed to recognize the reasons made the high school teachers (female) in Houtat Bani Tamim province abstains from the leadership's positions at the institutions that they are working in. And to achieve the goals of the research the descriptive analytical approach was used, while the study tool was an electronic questionnaire distributed among a random simple sample which consisted of (93) secondary teachers. The study revealed that the arithmetic averages of the responses of the study sample on the axis of reasons for abstention from leadership positions ranged between (2.62) and (3.94) with a general average of (3.46) (3.45) and (4.31) with a general average of (3.92). The results of the study on the analysis of mono- variance showed that there were no statistically significant differences due to differences in academic qualifications and years of experience. This reflects the agreement of the sample members of the secondary school teachers on the reasons of abstention of leadership positions.

The voices of teachers are missing from today's celebrated dialogue about schooling in the United States. To help remedy this, HER invited a group of high school teachers to review one of the major works of this dialogue.1 This essay, written by Paula M. Evans, a member of the group,synthesizes their thoughts and reactions to Ernest Boyer's High School. While the review does not pretend to detail every nuance of the discussion about the book, it does reflect the major issues,questions, and criticisms raised in that discussion. A sentence or two on the history and membership of the group may be of interest. In July 1982, the Boston/Newton Local History Collaborative and the Education Collaborative for Greater Boston jointly sponsored a conference, inviting secondary school teachers from the Boston area to explore and design collaborative efforts.2 Several teachers who attended that conference decided to continue meeting as a study group. Over the last year and a half they have met regularly to discuss relevant books and articles, hear speakers, and share perspectives on the dilemmas,challenges, and frustrations of schooling.

Technological Competencies

    The current research aimed at identifying the technological competencies required for intermediate and secondary school teachers to activate the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom. To achieve this goal, the question of technological competencies for middle and high school teachers was answered to activate the use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom. Based on the objective of the research and its questions، the researcher used the descriptive method for its relevance to the research. The sample included (40) teachers of the intermediate and secondary stage in Al-Fursan Private Schools for Girls in Riyadh who used the Smartboard in teaching. The researcher used the questionnaire to collect the necessary data to answer the study questions. The responses were analyzed using the following statistical methods: frequencies، percentages, arithmetic mean، Pearson coefficient to measure the validity of the internal consistency of the study instrument، and Vacronbach coefficient in order to measure instrument stability. The most important results of the research are that the members of the research sample have three design competencies needed to activate the use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom to a high degree: the ability to design a lesson، master the techniques of evaluation and the ability to design activities، all using interactive whiteboard. The study also concluded that incentives were given to the teacher who uses interactive whiteboard in teaching, and also to design modern buildings for educational institutions in accordance with the requirements of presentation and use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom. The study recommended the educating middle and secondary school teachers about the importance of using interactive whiteboard in the educational process at all levels، and also working on attracting highly qualified human cadres for the success of the interactive whiteboard.

Background: Design and training methods for instructors on integrating experiential learning continues to be a challenge in high school education. Purpose: This work reports on research concerning the current status, available resources, limitations, and capabilities of high school teachers implementing experiential learning in a technical and vocational high school curriculum in Guatemala. Methodology/Approach: Case study methodology was used to examine professional development training involving the implementation of experiential learning into an agriculture and forestry curriculum. The design of the training included a series of hands-on activities to enable teachers to identify barriers and drivers influencing experiential learning and the redesign of a course program. Findings/Conclusions: Teachers were able to identify resources and limitations affecting the implementation of experiential learning in their teaching program. The guidance and examples provided by the instructors were fundamental for the teachers to modify a standard course program that included significant experiential learning methodologies. Implications: Many high school teachers lack the training and knowledge necessary for integrating experiential learning. Furthermore, in many cases, they are required to follow a structured curriculum that at allows for minimal modifications. Teachers also recognize that courses that only include classroom activities are the most challenging for including experiential learning activities.

In Zambia, curriculum development for primary and secondary schools is done centrally. The CurriculumDevelopment Centre (CDC), the institution placed with the responsibility of facilitating curriculum development,claims that the Zambian school curriculum is developed through a consultative and participatory approach throughcourse and subject panels where teachers and other stakeholders are represented. However, there has been noempirical evidence to suggest the roles that teachers, who are the major implementers of the same curricular, arerequired to play in the development process. This study therefore, sought to establish perceptions of secondaryschool teachers on their role in the curriculum development process in Zambia. The concurrent embedded design ofthe mixed methods approach was employed with the qualitative approach dominating the study while the quantitativewas used to add detail. Data from secondary school teachers was collected using questionnaires while interviewguides were used for Head teachers. Raw data collected from interviews and questionnaires was analyzed usingthemes and descriptive statistics and then arranged into significant patterns so as to easily interpret and understandthe essence of the data. The findings of the study clearly suggested that the majority of secondary school teachers inLusaka were willing to participate in the curriculum development process, especially in situational analysis, in theformulation of educational objectives, in setting up the curriculum project, and in the writing of curriculum materialssuch as textbooks. From the study it was concluded that teachers were aware of some of the roles that they couldplay in the curriculum development but were not adequately involved in the development process.

Dr. John H. Minnick was elected President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics at the annual meeting at Atlantic City. Dr. Minnick has been unusually active in secondary school mathematics. He is now engaged in training high school teachers in mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania. Many readers will recall Dr. Minnick’s Tests of Abilities in Geometry, a scientific monograph on the nature of the abilities which are involved in proving a proposition in geometry.

Developmental-studies mathematics is the set of skills that students must possess if they are to be sucessful in beginning college-level mathematics. In most colleges and universities, elementary algebra from the secondary school curriculum is a major part of developmental-studies mathematics. Some arithmetic, or some intermediate algebra, or some of both is also commonly included. Although this content is studied by most college-bound students before they enter their last two years of high school, over 60 percent of all students nationally who enter a community college are required to take developmental-studies mathematics (Griffin 1981). Similarly, in many of the larger universities, this statistic is over 50 percent (Whitesitt 1982).
