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>
<br>
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
