Breaking Barriers: Inclusive Geography Education Led by a Blind Teacher
“Everyone can achieve their goals with some support encouragement and determination.
As a teacher, not only is it my job to educate, but it is also my responsibility to enable students to maximise their potential and to minimise their stress.”
