Professional Development for Teachers of the Blind & Low Vision

Professional development for teachers and other personnel is generally designed for the broader teaching community. However, teachers of the blind and visually impaired can request specialized instruction on these days. TechVision offers tailored learning experiences for teaching and learning with screen readers, braille displays, and other access technology. With TechVision, educators can acquire the specific skills needed to help their students learn and access education. This Professional Development for Teachers allows their students to be on the same level as their peers over time. It also helps teachers develop tech competencies for the year. Specialized professional development helps to guide and ensure that all students, regardless of their visual abilities, can compete on an equal footing with their sighted peers.
