Seminars at Hadley Presents: Access to Mathematics & Science for Blind Students

Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010

Time: 11AM CDT, 16:00 GMT

Are you interested in a career in science, technology, engineering or
mathematics? As a student who is blind have you had difficulty
understanding science and math as spoken and practiced in the
classroom? As a teacher, do you find it difficult to translate science
experiments and mathematical language into something that is
meaningful for blind students?

Join Seminars at Hadley as Dr. Cary Supalo and Mr. Mick Isaacson discuss
the importance of a hands-on science learning experience for the blind
as well as rules for speaking mathematics in a way that it can be
easily learned. Learn about cutting edge tools and rules that empower
students and teachers to make math and science easier, more
accessible, and more interesting.

This 60 minute seminar will be moderated by Billy Brookshire, Hadley
Outreach coordinator. A question and answer session will be included
as part of the seminar.

As always, listening to the seminar remains free of charge. There is a
US $25 fee associated with completing the seminar for credit (1 CE
hour). Professionals interested in receiving continuing education
credit will be required to successfully complete a quiz and brief
survey before a certificate is issued. (ACVREP approval pending)
