I have completed some research in a college of further education in the UK looking at the attitudes and understanding of existing teachers in adult education about dyslexia. I also interviewed 2 dyslexic teachers to understand how they feel about the support they get from their colleagues and the law. The results show that there is a general lack of awareness of dyslexia by teachers in the UK, especially from those in more practical vocational areas. In addition, dyslexic teachers feel they do not get enough support. Teachers' abilities to support their co-workers have a direct consequence on how they support the adult learners that they teach. I would like to repeat this study with some additional adult education institutions in Europe, with the intention of producing a set of guidelines/book to use in initial teacher training for new teachers and in-house training for existing teachers. This idea is, of course, open to discussion. Since my study I have delivered some workshops within my college which have been very successful. Please contact me if you are interested in participating, NOT BY REPLYING TO THIS MESSAGE, but by emailing me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The next stage will be for each country to complete a form to secure funding for a Preparatory Meeting. I aim to hold this initial meeting in one of the countries participating (offers to host the meeting are welcome!)in January 2007, so that we can prepare a G2 project application for 1st March 2007. -- ______________ EuroAtlantic Club monitoring Romania's journey towards the EU http://www.europe.org.ro/euroatlantic_club/ mail to: P.O.Box 13-166, Bucharest 011737 e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** sustineti [romania_eu_list] prin 2% din impozitul pe 2005 - detalii la http://www.doilasuta.ro *** Yahoo!
