Description of CE Program/Activity
 VI professionals are a small, elite group spread out over the state. Beginners may lack opportunities to observe seasoned VI professionals in the classroom and itinerant settings. Three times this year we will be providing two days of professional observation at TSBVI and in surrounding school districts for teachers of student with visual impairments, certified orientation and mobility specialists, and Texas Tech or Stephen F. Austin students enrolled in VI coursework. You will have the opportunity to discuss what you have observed and ask questions of the instructors. The mentor program pays for hotel, meals, partial travel, and substitute teacher expenses. You just show up and learn!
