Personnel Prep Colleagues, Tina Herzberg and I both realize this is a busy time of year for you and TVIs in your states and networks. We're conducting a really important study to help us position to apply for federal grant funding. If you can please take just a few minutes to share the message below and attached flyer, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Penny & Tina --- Colleagues, Are you a TVI who would love to have some tools to use to teach your braille reading PK-5th grade students how to read and locate information in bar graphs, line graphs, and other types of graphics? If you said "yes" then help us to gather data to show the need for developing instructional materials for this group of learners. To obtain funding, we need TVIs to complete a 20-minute survey to share their experiences when working with braille readers in PK-5th grade. Are you a US TVI with more than 3 years of experience who has taught braille to at least one PK-5th grade student in the 2019-2020 school year or beyond? If yes, by June 1 please take our survey. You'll find the link in our flyer. Please share the flyer with other TVIs. If you want to go directly to the survey, here's the link: https://uofsc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_daFg9LywMo18i8u Thanks, Penny L.
