Communities

The community required for changing the way teachers are trained and prepared for the diversity that faces them in the classroom is a dedicated one. The Task Force of Higher Education and its partners form a team intent upon bringing about improvement and change. The Higher Education Task Force on Quality Inclusive Schooling works with its partners in RSE-TASC, the S3TAIR Project, Teacher Centers and Parent Centers to bring about the change needed to create teachers who can help ensure that no child gets left behind.
