The Cultural Contribution Award is sponsored by M&G Real Estate and is open to anyone making a positive difference in Reading, Berkshire. Jim leveraged significant government funding to train specialist literacy teachers and set up the Dyslexia-SpLD Trust as an umbrella to bring together stakeholder organisations. According to the British Dyslexia Association, Jim’s recommendations in his report on the subject, his second in 2009, continue to hold sway: early identification, the development of core, advanced and specialist skills, accountability for adhering to the SEN (special educational needs) Code of Practice, parental engagement and the auditing of provision.

In its day, this novel was received as a class provocation along the lines of Lindsay Anderson’s film If….. Brooke’s delivery is subtler but actually more confrontational. Her narrative develops briskly, sometimes without a great deal of signalling; there are constant playful acts of ventriloquism, gleeful switches of register and point of view. When a book explicitly signs itself as a revision of Conrad’s Lord Jim, we know roughly what to expect: we know Giles will fall from grace; what we’re desperate for is the details. When we get them, they’re fully as triggering as we hoped. Until that happens, her characters develop themselves with such deftness, such pictorial flashes of realism, that we forget they’re caricatures – at least for as long as she needs us to. It’s a businesslike kind of Viz for grownups, which she controls with surprising combinations of discipline and brisance. The characters develop themselves with such deftness, such pictorial flashes of realism, that we forget they’re caricatures University leaders made the somewhat surprising decision to settle the case because the Big Ten would not agree to reduce the suspension to two games, the school didn’t want to drag the fight into court and negotiated for the conference to close its investigation, according to a person familiar with the situation. After a childhood brain injury left me ‘scholastically challenged’, I created strategies to dramatically enhance my mental performance and dedicated my life to helping others unleash their brainpower to learn anything faster and live a life of greater power, productivity, and purpose. Sir Jim Rose was formerly Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector (HMI) of Primary Education, and Director of Inspection for the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) in England.

As the House gears up to vote for its new speaker, all eyes are on Jim Jordan, a founder of the hard-right Freedom caucus. But while the Ohio congressman and his allies say they will have the votes soon, Jordan also has a long history of controversial views that many of his own party members and constituents are not aligned with. The challenge? Traditional speed-reading is associated with skimming or skipping.

We live in an information age where knowledge isn’t just power. It’s profit – and I don’t just mean financial profit. The faster you can learn, the faster you can earn all the treasures of your life.Following headships of two inner-city schools, Jim proceeded to become a chief inspector in 1986 and went to Ofsted in 1992, serving as deputy director of inspection and then director. Through retirement he continued as a government adviser, president of the National Foundation for Educational Research from 2008 and patron of the National Handwriting Association. He was the archetypal Mr Fixit, respected by the profession and politicians alike, speaking truth unto power but in a pragmatic way that made the powerful listen.

Now that I’m older, I’ve kept Jim’s hounds at bay. The albums have been shelved for years, though I keep a few songs on my iPhone for rare celebrations.

I found Jim – and the myth of Jim – both fascinating and frightening. After coaxing me to drink whiskey and eat acid, Jim guided me to some dark truths, to an understanding that the only way to truly appreciate one’s existence was to push it to the brink of annihilation. Break on through…. The next step was to consider how best to support learners with dyslexia – a condition whose nature, causes, treatments and even its name are debated. As a member of Jim’s advisory group I witnessed at first hand and with admiration his ability to gain the confidence of diverse “experts” and to balance their views with evidence from practitioners, families and others with “lived experience”. In consequence the review group agreed a working definition of dyslexia, recommended intervention without waiting for “diagnosis” and tiered levels of support and monitoring.
