Capacity building: teachers and staff
VSO will support the development and implementation of comprehensive pre-service and in-service inclusive teacher training programmes. This training aims to improve teachers’ knowledge, skills, expertise and attitudes to conduct assessments of children’s disabilities. And improve the adaptiveness of their teaching methods for children with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. VSO will train teachers and community volunteers to use Washington Group questions to assess the prevalence of disability and share promising practices on inclusive teaching.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
VSO is hosting a writeshop in September 2018 to collect learning and promising practices from VSO’s programmes on inclusive education for learners with disabilities. VSO will be training teachers and staff to use Washington Group questions in Nepal and Rwanda in 2018, and roll this out to other countries over the next two years.
