Description of CE Program/Activity
 What to ExpectThis is your chance to connect with other professionals around the country about teaching math and science to students who are blind or visually impaired. We will have a social hour for those staying at the Drury Inn from 5:30-7 nightly beginning on Sunday night where people can meet. There will also be a tour of MSB, vendors, morning and afternoon sessions on both Monday and Tuesday, and a shorter day of sessions on Wednesday.Goals:To build community and a support system among teachers of the visually impaired. Often, teachers feel isolated and don t have easy access to other teachers for guidance and support. To provide professional development opportunities. The POSB Institutes for Instruction would include a training component, focusing on a particular area of instruction to inspire teachers and provide them with tools to improve their instructional practices. To establish online communities for individual disciplines in order to provide ease in communication and to share documents and other materials related to instruction.
