Reform initiatives over the last 30 years in Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago have been aimed at enhancing inclusive education practices. On-going research recognizes the critical roles that teachers, and by extension their opinions, play in facilitating or hindering educational reform to facilitate inclusion or integration as the process is also referred to within these countries. In the Caribbean policy makers face a considerable challenge implementing inclusive education especially since education is regarded as having an entrenched elitism linked to a colonized past. We acknowledge the broader interpretation of ̳inclusive education‘ as relating to socially just pedagogy for all citizens, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, religion, socioeconomic status, academic abilities, sexual orientation, and location. Indeed, we applaud this challenge of language to established exclusionary practices evident in schools and society (Conrad, Paul, Bruce, Charles, & Felix, 2010). However, for purposes of this paper, we will focus on children who have been described as having special needs, exceptionalities, or disabilities. We will use the term interchangeably with ̳integration‘.
