[BlindMath] FW: Fall 2022 - Project INSPIRE Courses

[Susan Osterhaus]

Hi to all of you interested in mathematics and possibly in our target group,



I just thought that you might have an interest in one of the following free
courses either for yourself, a paraprofessional you know, or possibly other
colleagues or fellow university students. I am one of the authors. We will
also be offering a course with high school math topics next spring. Please
spread the word.



The target groups for the courses are:

• Teachers of students with visual impairments

• Paraprofessionals who support braille readers and individuals who are
preparing braille materials

• University students preparing to become teachers of students with visual
impairments



Best wishes,

Susan
