Recent policy initiatives illuminate the need for greater teacher
awareness about dyslexia in secondary and tertiary education. Yet
the debates about dyslexia are often narrowly based and can exclude
some teachers. This book attempts to open up the debate by bringing
together different ways of talking and thinking about dyslexia.
Fundamental questions about how to respond to dyslexia in teaching
and support contexts are addressed and the significance of
â??exploratory conversionsâ?? between learners and tutors
is recognised. The need to restructure â??the structured
approachâ?? and to consider meta-affectivity as well as
metacognition is explored. Practitioners in both secondary and
tertiary sectors can gain ready access to contributions from
internationally respected writers and teachers in the field. Alan
Hurstâ??s preface refers to â??this important
bookâ?? as paving the way to a more truly inclusive attitude
and approach to education in and beyond compulsory schooling.
