Project Inspire Fall 2021 Courses
Free Nemeth math courses for teachers of the visually impaired!
We are beginning to recruit for fall courses that will begin on Monday, October 11. We will be repeating the 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.
We will also be offering a new course, “Nemeth Code Symbols Used in the Middle Grades and Strategies for Supporting Math Learning.” This course includes lessons about transcribing math materials for students in Grades 5 to 8; resources and strategies to support math learning in the middle grades; how students can construct different types of graphics used in middle school STEM courses; using a graphing calculator; connecting middle school literature to math concepts and symbols; and teaching math skills, including Nemeth Code, to students with visual impairments and additional disabilities.
Please see the attached Project Inspire flyer for information about the course. Here is the link to the online sign up form.
