Special education teachers

Disabled children in many countries face discrimination and are excluded from active participation in family and community life. Inclusive education can change attitudes and support disabled people in exercising their rights. You’ll be advising teachers in mainstream schools on how to identify, assess and include children with special needs. You’ll also train teachers in producing effective teaching materials.

You’ll be qualified teacher with at least 2 years experience working with children who have special education needs. In some placements it would be helpful to know Braille or Sign Language.

You could be working in countries like Guyana, Uganda, Vietnam and Tanzania.
