National Federation of the Blind


2010 Teacher of Tomorrow Program


 


If you are preparing for a career in teaching blind students, then this
message is for you!


 

 

The National Federation of the Blind has developed the
<http://www.teachblindstudents.org/tbs/Default.asp> Teacher of Tomorrow
Program for students preparing to be teachers of the blind. This program is
of no cost, and it will provide students with the following: 

 

.        Teacher Mentors

.        Blindness Mentors

.        Blindness Skills Tutors 

.        Information about Scholarships

.        Diverse Teaching Opportunities 

.        Professional Development activities at the NFB national convention 

.        Advocacy training in Washington D.C.  

.        Interactive Workshops at the headquarters of the NFB in Baltimore,
Maryland.

 

Wondering why we developed the
<http://www.teachblindstudents.org/tbs/Default.asp> Teacher of Tomorrow
Program? Well, the answer is easy. to be effective educators, teachers of
blind kids need sustained and in-depth exposure to blind people from all
walks of life. Although current teacher training programs provide these
opportunities for their students, they are often limited by a number of
factors including location, funding, and access. The NFB has an active
nationwide network of countless resources that can be used to provide future
teachers an enhanced learning experience, and we are happy to work with
teacher preparation programs to facilitate these experiences for their
students.

 

If you would like to be considered for this program, please complete the
<http://www.teachblindstudents.org/Forms.asp?MODE=NEW&SnID=1657988414&Forms_
FormTypeID=-152> brief application that is attached to this message. We will
schedule a phone interview with all applicants, and will select our final
cohort by Tuesday, June 15, 2010. If you have any questions, you can contact
