Brock’s expertise in teacher education is helping to make classrooms in the Caribbean more inclusive.
The University is in its third phase of a progressive series of initiatives, which began in 2021, that provide professional development opportunities overseas.
The current phase includes a partnership between Brock and the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Under the latest agreement, the project is facilitating capacity development for inclusive education in St. Vincent.
Funded by the World Bank, the initiative is part of the country’s larger Human Development Service Delivery (HDSD) project, which is designed to improve quality-of-service delivery in education, efficiency of social protection systems and effectiveness of labour market systems.
When completed, the initiative will implement inclusive teaching practices and physical accommodations at all primary and secondary schools on the island, allowing students from segregated schools to reintegrate into the mainstream school system with their peers.
