Liz Ahrends Award
The Liz Ahrends Award is intended to contribute to the work of specialist tutors who are supporting students with specific learning difficulties.
It was set up in 2008 in memory of Liz Ahrends, a founder member of ADSHE. Liz championed the work of freelance tutors in the development and delivery of effective independent support. The Award is in recognition of the profound influence that one-to-one support has on the lives of students with SpLDs.
ADSHE members who work in a freelance or part-time capacity offering individual specialist tuition are invited to submit proposals of no more than 300 words outlining how they would use the award in support of their work.
ADSHE members may wish to propose a colleague who has made a significant contribution through their specialist support to the development of students with SpLD.
The main purpose of the award, which includes the sum of £400, is to enable the successful candidate to develop ideas or materials that can be shared with the wider community of dyslexia support tutors. The aim should be the dissemination of materials or approaches to particular issues of dyslexia support. The proposal should include a statement indicating how the money would be put to use.
The successful tutor will be asked to present a brief report at the subsequent Networking Day.
Applications are invited [closing Date 1 May] – for more details or to submit an application, please Email: maryedelmann@BTINTERNET.COM
