>Seeking Field Evaluators for Math Graphing Kit
>
>     APH is seeking field evaluators for Math Graphing Kit (please 
> see the picture below), an assistive tool to facilitate graphing in 
> elementary, middle, and high school math. As a modernization of 
> APH's Graphic Aid for Mathematics, the new Math Graphing Kit is 
> designed to be more powerful and portable. This tool is designed 
> for laying out of calculation procedures in arithmetic, 
> illustrating function graphics in algebra, exploring shapes and 
> relationships in geometry, and constructing histograms and pie 
> charts in statistics, among other tasks done by students in math 
> classes. Universal design also makes it good for use by teachers, 
> parents, and sighted peers.
>
>     Field evaluators will be asked to use the prototype with 
> multiple students with blindness and low vision. Evaluators will 
> then complete and return a product evaluation form at the end of 
> the testing period. Field test sites will be selected based upon 
> geographic location, number of available students, and type of 
> instructional setting. The number of prototypes is limited. Field 
> testing will begin in March 2014 and extend to May 2014.
>
>     If you are interested in possibly serving as a field evaluator, 
> please provide the following information:
>
>a. your name, title, school/agency, and type of setting (e.g., 
>residential, itinerant);
>
>b. number of available students (with ages, grade levels, and 
>primary reading media indicated);
>
>c. your preferred medium for reading evaluation materials and 
>completing the evaluation form; and
>
>d. your complete contact information (phone number, mailing address, 
>and e-mail address).
>
>     Send this information to Li Zhou, Core Curriculum Project 
> Leader, at <mailto:lzhou at aph.org>lzhou at aph.org by February 21, 
> 2014. You may also contact Li at 800-223-1839, ext. 424. Thank you!
