We are continuing to recruit for spring courses that will begin on Monday, February 15. As a member of the South Carolina Vision Education Partnership, we are absolutely delighted to offer *12 hours of ACVREP continuing education credits* for the courses this spring. Thank you very much to Marty McKenzie and Jodi Floyd for helping us make this possible! We will be repeating the course, “Nemeth Code Symbols for Fractions and Spatial Problems, Instructional Tools, Materials, and Technology.” This course includes lessons about using an abacus, other instructional tools and materials, technology skills that support digital math concepts, fractions, mixed numbers, long division, and a variety of spatial problems. In addition, we will be offering a second course, “Geometry and Tactile Graphics for Students in Grades 3 to 8”. This course includes lessons about transcribing geometry materials into Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts, how to create tactile graphics for your students and how to teach your student to create their graphics, and how to teach to accurately locate and interpret information on tactile graphics. Please see the attached flyer for additional information about the courses. The link to the online sign up form is https://uofsc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4UtYonQ85smhJrv.
