In this inaugural EdTekHub InnerView with Nicholas Provenzano, Brian Lewis explores this very question. Nicholas Provenzano, an English teacher and technology curriculum specialist at Grosse Pointe Public Schools in Michigan, is deeply familiar with failure in his own educational experience both as a young student and as an adult. It wasn’t until high school that he discovered that he is dyslexic and finally understood why math and reading were so challenging for him.
