Subject: Spring 2021 Project INSPIRE Courses
Good afternoon! 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.
