<b>Subject:</b> One-time, Online Course: Unified English Braille for
Teachers<br>
<br>
Hello Kristin,<br>
UND is offering a course in UEB. Julie Anderson (Fargo TVI) is the
instructor. I am taking it myself and I like the format. Would you
share this with the MN BVI listserv? <br>
<i> <br>
UEB (Unified English Braille) for Teachers of Students with Visual
Impairments</i> is a one-time offering this fall, which provides 2 PD
credits, to help you learn and use the new braille code. This
course will prepare you for the UEB certification test once it is
implemented across the United States. The work at your own pace course is
offered completely online and runs August 24 - December 11. Teachers may
register to take the course anytime between August 24 and September 25,
2015, but the sooner you register the more time you’ll have to complete
the course by December 11. The course fee is $300, and you will be
responsible for ordering and paying for the required book (which is
$98.50). ND Teachers will be given the first opportunity to sign up
for the course so there will limited enrollment for out-of-state
teachers. <br>
We’re very excited to offer this one-time only class, and we hope that
your schedules will allow you the time to participate. There’s still
plenty of time to sign up.<br>
Learn more about the course, or

online here</a>. Only qualified Teachers of the Visually Impaired and
those who create materials in braille are receiving this email invitation
to enroll in this course. <br>
