[Nfbn-announce] NFB Hosting Teacher Leader Seminar

[Amy Buresh]

The agenda is now available!   www.nfb.org/tls 

The National Federation of the Blind understands how important it is for
teachers working in a low incidence field, like blindness, to find
opportunities to collaborate and network. In an effort to foster learning,
interaction, and community, the NFB is hosting the first-ever Teacher Leader
Seminar! During this three-day conference, teachers will have the
opportunity to learn, grow, and meet other professionals.  This conference
will include learning sessions and Make and Takes, networking with other
teachers and professionals, and best practice and technology discussions.
Teachers will have the chance to influence the content of sessions and lead
discussions.  Participants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of
social media before, during, and after this seminar to stay in contact with
each other and teachers in the field.
 
The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is collaborating
with the National Organization of Professionals in Blindness Education to
hold this Teacher Leader Seminar on January 27-29, 2012 in Baltimore, MD.
This conference is open to teachers of blind students, orientation and
mobility instructors, classroom teachers, students in graduate programs and
all other blindness professionals. Registration cost is $100 dollars and
includes meals during the program. The first fifty teachers to register will
be offered on-site accommodations.  Please register at www.nfb.org/tls.  The
agenda is now available!   www.nfb.org/tls
