>>>Frustrated Blind Field
>>>I receive many emails off the blog site so no one knows their fear or frustration. Paras and teachers do not know how to let the district and the families they are working with know how frustrated they are with what is going on with blind children. They feel hopeless and trapped and sad for the child. Not everyone, but a good portion.
>>>
>>>I have paras who know their students are dependent on them
and that they do a bulk of the work, but they are waiting for direction from
the teacher of the blind (TVI). They fear for their jobs if the students
they are working with do not show a good grade..... they are waiting for
that help and direction.
>>>
>>>The teacher of the blind is overloaded with
a huge caseload that she can only see children a miniscule amount of time
each week, more to put out fires than really teach. Not to mention she has
no time to help the para and no time to gain further skills to help herself
and in turn help the student.
>>>
>>>We have districts with the directors,
that IF they know, they are trying to look for more personnel to hire but
cannot find qualified people. But many directors do not know. Many teachers
of the blind and paras suffer in silence over the condition and are not sure
where to turn.
>>>
>>>As a collective community of people that want to help
make a difference, we need to start really thinking outside the box...and
way outside. I see this condition getting worse in many areas, especially
now that I am communicating and teaching all over this county and in
different parts of the world. People are looking for
direction.
>>>
>>>Virtual teaching is a "think outside the box" area that is
blooming in its possibilities. If anyone is interested in a virtual lesson,
email me and I will get you going. I have been teaching this way for over a
1.5 years with great success. Teachers can access more students in one day
than if they are trying to drive to every school.
>>>
>>>Another aspect of
virtual instruction is if our community all gets on texting, chat, video
conferencing, everyone is always 1 second away from an answer or the help
they need. Get more information on virtual instruction at
blindgeteducated.blogspot.com or email me personally.
