A Step Forward

Welcome back to the podcast my friends! I’m so excited to bring you the episode this week as we have Katie Ericson as a guest in the podcast! Katie is currently a PhD student in Special Education at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. She’s going to share one of her very interesting journeys where she had the chance to go and teach in Japan. She is particularly interested in providing effective distance consultation for students with visual impairments, developing meaningful professional development for TSBVI and O&M specialists and physical activity and recreation for individuals with visual impairments.

Teaching students with visual impairments has changed exponentially over the past few decades. How did the implementation of IDEA affect learning for students with visual impairments? Have we gone too far with inclusion? What role do parents play in the success of their children with visual impairments? What are some of the mistakes that vocational programs often make?

We are diving into all of these questions with CTVI & COMS, Jill Brown.

It’s been 15 years since I started teaching and I remember my experience when I was a first year teacher where I didn't really know what I was doing. Well, in today’s episode, I will be sharing about a few things that I would like to change if I could go back to being a first year teacher and maybe these things could help you first year teachers out there, or even give you an idea on how you can be a better teacher.

As we have just ended the O and M Symposium, in this week’s episode, I will be sharing my 6 key takeaways from the Symposium itself. It was such a magical moment where we really manage to hone into three specific areas within the symposium.

As I share about the key takeaways, I will also be sharing clips from the presentation that you can listen to. So without further ado, let’s get into the show.
