Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Seeking Access Tech Teacher to pilot Test Certification Standards

If you are currently an Access Technology teacher or trainer, have been one in the past, or plan to be one in the future, we are seeking your assistance.

The National Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB) is working on the development of the National Access Technology for the Blind (NCATB) certification standards and procedures. We are close to a phase where we need interested individuals to pilot test some of the materials that have been developed.

What are we asking you to do: There are two components of this first pilot test. Half of the group will be asked to provide written responses to a set of questions related to the knowledge and teaching of Access Technology. The other half of the group will be asked the same questions over zoom and their responses will be recorded. In either scenario we anticipate it taking approximately one hour of your time.

What is in it for me? If you “pass” the relevant sections of the exam and/or demonstrate the competency that is being assessed you will be among the first holders of NCATB certification free of charge, which is a $300 value.

What is the catch? Right now we are only seeking a small number of individuals; however, we plan several levels of pilot testing. You will also be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect the integrity of the tasks that you will be asked to perform.

If you qualify and are interested, send an email to Dr. Edward Bell at ebell at latech.edu Questions may also be directed to the same address.
