ALL,

I WOULD NOT HESITATE FROM LETTING ANYONE KNOW YOUR DEGREE OF BLINDNESS if
and when asked directly. while I am not teaching in a classroom on a daily
basis, I do frequent classrooms ranging in ages from kindergarten to high
school. I do sensitivity and diversity trainings. What the good doctor
recommended is what works most effectively. Using your other senses to see
are what will help you rise to any and all occasions while teaching. Your
hearing will always alert you to the students who are not on task as well as
those who are. Only through a complete and utter sense of confidence in your
own unique abilities to see, will you ever yourself feel confident in your
abilities as a teacher and thereby create confidence that others can and
will have in your abilities as well. being upfront and direct with the
students and respecting their intelligence will inure to your success in all
areas of classroom management. as an educator who has taught both completely
sighted and completely blind, the only challenges I am still working on
overcoming are reading and interpreting written materials and submissions
independently. However, that too seems to be made easier with the advent of
new technologies on the field and on the horizon. Just use your other senses
to see, incorporate classroom monitors which ultimately teaches civic
responsibility and good judgment. It engages the students in the communal
need for working together and reinforces the current needs to feel
comfortable about, if you see something say something. By inviting
participation in maintaining classroom management from the students and
coupled with your own way of seeing and interpreting your own environment,
together with your students, you will see your way to a well managed and
task oriented and goal specific class.

Use your ears, learn the kids voices and you will be able to pick out the
trouble makers fast...hop on it quickly and that will keep order. Follow
through on any consequences ASAP--Don't let things slide. many times you
can pick up more using your ears than eyes. Really focus on learning the
name to the voice the first few days
