I am looking forward to meeting with Pam Allen, Executive Director at the Louisiana Center for the Blind and President of the National Federation of the Blind- Louisiana, on May 26th at 9:00. This will be my first visit to the Louisiana Center for the Blind. I am excited to share my instructional strategies as well as hopefully learn some new ones from Ms. Allen and her colleagues!
I had a very successful demonstration at the Virginia School for the Blind on February 26th. The administrator, Julie Conner, shared my instructional strategies with her colleagues at the Virginia School for the Deaf because she saw the benefits of my instructional strategies. As a result, I will be returning to the VSDB campus on March 25th to meet with her staff.
The Virginia School for the Blind has invited me to share my low vision and braille math manipulatives with their staff on on February 26th at 3:15.

I appreciate the willingness of Delicia Carter, Director of Special Education at McComb Public Schools, to meet with me on February 12th at 8:30. Because my math strategies are used in all academic settings, I encouraged her to invite her regular education colleagues to my demonstration.
I want to thank Dr. Antonio Magee, Director of the Mississippi Instructional Resource Center, for organizing a PD opportunity for the staff at the Mississippi School for the Deaf and Blind on February 11th at 3:45.
