Part of my mentoring job requires me to be in their main office and help students with testing. The way they have it set up is that in the beginning of the week, professors send the test to the disability office and the tests are printed out and placed in a file folder, with their name on top.A worker would see a paper with their accommodations listed, which would let them know what is required for the student taking the test. They are not allowed to bring anything extra in to the testing room, and I'm not sure how to look for that. I am supposed to record what time they begin the test,and what time they finish the test, on a piece of paper. I asked if there was a way to record times electronically, since I obviously do not write on the paper.The testing student can't leave the space until they hand the test back. We are also supposed to check if they had drinks with them and if they wrote on their coffee cups. I brought up these concerns about accessibility with my supervisor and neither of us would like or feel comfortable sending the students' accommodations and tests over email, since that will live in my email. We want to figure out a solution that would work, with the most confidentiality. They are not comfortable sending me anything, regarding someone else's accommodations and I want that to stay in the testing space. However,there is a computer in the room that is the school's,but I'm not sure if anyone uses it. I brought up the idea that our IT department could install NVDA on it, scince that is free and I could use that computer for accessibility and to have electronic way for seeing what the students' need. I'm not really sure how open they are to that idea, but I will bring it up again. Perhaps creating a separate email that I have access to on that computer would be possible? Do you have any ideas of solutions that can help both me and the job confidentiality. I also want to do this portion of the job as independently as possible, without relying on a coworker to do my job for me. I'm open to your feedback and want to figure out an accessible solution that will put all of us on an equal level.

Many of the courses are structured, while many others are self-paced. Most importantly however, there is a plethora of options within the course catalog, taught by the foremost scholars with deep and diverse backgrounds. I hope this helps. Happy studying and exploring the world during your gap year.

Part of my mentoring job requires me to be in their main office and help students with testing. The way they have it set up is that in the beginning of the week, professors send the test to the disability office and the tests are printed out and placed in a file folder, with their name on top.A worker would see a paper with their accommodations listed, which would let them know what is required for the student taking the test. They are not allowed to bring anything extra in to the testing room, and I'm not sure how to look for that. I am supposed to record what time they begin the test,and what time they finish the test, on a piece of paper. I asked if there was a way to record times electronically, since I obviously do not write on the paper.The testing student can't leave the space until they hand the test back. We are also supposed to check if they had drinks with them and if they wrote on their coffee cups. I brought up these concerns about accessibility with my supervisor and neither of us would like or feel comfortable sending the students' accommodations and tests over email, since that will live in my email. We want to figure out a solution that would work, with the most confidentiality. They are not comfortable sending me anything, regarding someone else's accommodations and I want that to stay in the testing space. However,there is a computer in the room that is the school's,but I'm not sure if anyone uses it. I brought up the idea that our IT department could install NVDA on it, scince that is free and I could use that computer for accessibility and to have electronic way for seeing what the students' need. I'm not really sure how open they are to that idea, but I will bring it up again. Perhaps creating a separate email that I have access to on that computer would be possible? Do you have any ideas of solutions that can help both me and the job confidentiality. I also want to do this portion of the job as independently as possible, without relying on a coworker to do my job for me. I'm open to your feedback and want to figure out an accessible solution that will put all of us on an equal level.

Are there any good scholarships that I can apply to, such as scholarships for people with disabilities? Also, I was looking into university-specific scholarships such as the University of california.

Which means it's time for NFB of California members to start proposing resolutions to be debated and voted on during our state convention November 3-6. These resolutions have real power in guiding government, education and commerce to improve their relationship to California's blind citizens. They crystalize how our members feel today about important issues, and what we want the wider world to do about them. The world has changed since we last met in person. A pandemic, a contraction of blindness services, new access barriers, to name a few. Add to that issues in transportation, employment, education and personal safety. You don't need to be an expert resolution-writer to make an impact; some of our best resolutions have come from first-timers. But we do need to hear from you quickly. So won't you take a moment to draft a resolution that matters to you? It doesn't need to be perfect, as our Resolutions committee is full of mentors who will help you. but simply to mention the reasons why it's important and what you want to happen if your resolution passes. The NFBC website hosts all recent California resolutions available to use as a model, if you like. And all members of the 2022 Resolutions Committee are more than willing to help you get your resolution into the best format. Please feel free to reach out to any committee member listed below for assistance. We'll need to have all draft resolutions to the committee no later than 5:00 pm on Sunday, October16th so that the committee can do its job in helping to shape them to best advantage. Of course we'd love them earlier, ideally by the end of September. All are welcome to write to me directly with your starter resolutions and we'll take things from there. My direct email is: bashin at calweb.com . Looking forward to great resolutions and a wonderful convention.
