Job Description
The Eastern Caribbean is seeking an experienced special education teacher to help strengthen the country’s systems for individualized student support.
Special education is an emerging field in the Eastern Caribbean. While the Department of Education has made significant progress in building national capacity for assessment through the hiring of dedicated assessment teams in both the north and south, there remains a critical gap in special needs intervention. Currently, the responsibility for developing and implementing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) falls on classroom teachers and Special Education Needs (SEN) instructors, many of whom have little to no training in creating structured interventions aligned with the student assessment reports.
As a Special Education Advisor, you will play a vital role in addressing this gap by guiding teachers through the development and implementation of effective IEPs. Your expertise will help translate assessment results into meaningful classroom interventions, enabling students with special needs to receive the targeted support required for improved learning. Your collaborative work will strengthen the country’s IEP processes and provide lasting benefits for the SEN community.
