Project Description

Experienced educators and recent graduates are invited to support literacy instruction in the Eastern Caribbean.

In recent years, the Ministries of Education and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) have focused their efforts to address low literacy rates across schools in the Eastern Caribbean. Their initiatives include expanding higher education and ongoing professional development in literacy education, appointing literacy coordinators and coaches, implementing instructional strategies, and providing appropriate grade-level materials. Despite these efforts, gaps in student performance remain from factors, such as varied levels of at-home support and different student-specific learning needs. The Ministries of Education and regional partners are committed to improving literacy outcomes through a structured support system for teachers and students and are seeking assistance to establish and/or enhance the support structures through knowledge exchange, introduction of different evidence-based practices and additional technical expertise to strengthen literacy instruction, student engagement and student and teacher agency.

As an Elementary School Literacy Education Trainer, you will work closely with education officers, school leaders, and classroom teachers to strengthen instructional skills across schools. Together, you will identify opportunities to deliver targeted, student-centered support to students and integrate digital tools that enhance literacy learning.

Required Skills

Bachelor's degree in literacy education or relevant field.
AND
Three or more years of experience in literacy education.

Living Conditions

Volunteers spend their first week in a shared double bedroom before moving to independent houses or apartments, either standalone or within a host family compound. Housing is simple, often with open‑air designs and basic appliances; many lack hot water, washing machines, and air conditioning, though electricity, cellular service, and internet are generally reliable. Volunteers commute by bus to their worksites and major shopping areas, generally 25–30 minutes away.

Job Highlights

Expand your early childhood or literacy education expertise by gaining a deeper understanding of the unique learning challenges faced by elementary school students in Eastern Caribbean.
Develop foundational Kwéyòl/Creole language skills through immersive, daily conversations.
Experience the culture and traditions of Eastern Caribbean communities.

Activities

Analyze student performance data to identify learning trends, gaps, and opportunities for targeted interventions.
Provide guidance in designing instructional strategies and remediation plans for students.
Develop instructional materials, assessment instruments, and intervention resources.
Conduct classroom observations and provide constructive, non-evaluative feedback to strengthen instructional delivery.
Model evidence-based strategies and literacy practices to support effective teaching.
Promote and demonstrate the use of digital tools, applications, and technologies that enhance lessons.
Plan and facilitate professional development on literacy instruction and the integration of technology.

You may also work on additional projects that meet the community’s interests and priorities, such as conducting parent engagement sessions.

Training

After a two-week orientation on topics such as health and safety, you will move to a peri-urban community where you will collaborate with the Ministry of Education and schools to assess the learning needs and develop a work plan in line with their established goals.

Peace Corps/Eastern Caribbean will equip you with introductory Creole/Kwéyòl language skills, and you may work with a tutor who can help you build basic language skills to connect with the community.
