NFB Jernigan Institute Teacher Leader Seminar <br>
<br>
</div>
</b></font>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.<br>
