OECS/EDF/UWI TLIU Tertiary Education Programme: The Secondary Teachers' Training Programme
Component
The Secondary Teachers' Training Programme (STTP) was designed to address the
critical need for standardised training of secondary school teachers
within the OECS countries.
During August 1998 a Needs Assessment was carried out in ten
territories, (Anguilla, Antigua, the British Virgin Islands,
Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts, Nevis, St Lucia and St
Vincent) the resulting report identified the following subject areas
as the most critical for immediate standarisation:
- Mathematics
- English
- Modern Languages
- Science
- Geography
- History
|
- Social Studies
- Business Education
- Research Methods
- Assessment & Evaluation
- Education
|
A team of module writers were invited from within the OECS to
develop the modules, thus ensuring that each subject was geared
toward the specific needs of the Caribbean.
The STTP was developed to target the untrained graduate
teacher and the untrained non-graduate teacher.
