We are pleased to announce that Edward Vickerman will be coming to give a talk for Dyslexia Network plus on Tuesday 15th March, (venue to be finalised). He is an inspirational young teacher who won the New Teacher of the Year Award in 2009. He also happens to be very dyslexic, but has not let this deter him from his dream of becoming a teacher after working his way up the ladder in the hotel business.
He is a very good and inspirational speaker and this would be an appropriate session to bring older children to hear how it is possible to be successful and achieve one’s ambitions.
He had an interview with Martin Wainright of the Guardian, which is well worth listening to and the audio file can be found at:
