[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jo Whaley Sent: 28 April 2005 15:44 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Partially sighted/blind teachers Does anyone have any experiences with partially sighted/blind students doing a PGCE or working as teachers? (particularly in primary school teaching?). I'm interested in adjustments that have been put into place on the PGCE (or in school): things that have worked, things that haven't. This applicant has contacted the mailbase for partially sighted teachers (ABAPSTAS), but has had no responses. Would any of your contacts be prepared to be contacted by this applicant?
