Teacher Education in Selected Countries in the Commonwealth Caribbean: The Ideal of Policy versus the Reality of Practice.
Jennings, Zellynne
Comparative Education, v37 n1 p107-34 Feb 2001
A study of teacher education in formerly British, Caribbean countries found that teachers were trained to use centrally produced curriculum guides in language arts, reading, and foreign languages. However, policy ideals related to teachers being "facilitators of learning," teaching low achievers, and using new technologies were unmet and unlikely to be realized, given existing constraints.
