- [00:00:00.000]So, for my master's degree
- [00:00:02.402]in visual impairments, I attended
- [00:00:04.804]Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
- [00:00:08.041]And part of the reason I chose
- [00:00:09.943]the University of Nebraska was because I knew
- [00:00:12.278]many of the faculty members
- [00:00:14.147]here had attended Vanderbilt, and so I knew
- [00:00:17.517]that I'd be getting
- [00:00:18.752]research training from some of the best in the field.
- [00:00:21.454]I had
- [00:00:22.956]previous to this
- [00:00:23.990]worked as a
- [00:00:25.091]teacher of students with visual impairments
- [00:00:27.727]for about
- [00:00:29.195]four years.
- [00:00:30.730]And
- [00:00:31.631]I loved what I did. I liked being in the field.
- [00:00:34.300]But, I wanted a little bit something more.
- [00:00:37.003]I saw questions
- [00:00:38.738]in my practice
- [00:00:39.873]and I wanted to be able to answer those
- [00:00:41.975]and so I knew
- [00:00:43.843]it was time to
- [00:00:45.111]find someplace
- [00:00:46.980]where I could learn how to answer those
- [00:00:49.015]questions and put that into practice
- [00:00:52.152]for other TVIs.
- [00:00:53.753]So, in a general sense,
- [00:00:55.355]I'd like to look at
- [00:00:58.458]who and
- [00:00:59.993]who is reviewing
- [00:01:01.127]TVIs' performance,
- [00:01:03.630]and how that performance is reviewed,
- [00:01:06.099]and potentially
- [00:01:08.435]how that translates into professional development.
- [00:01:11.871]uh
- [00:01:12.672]As a TVI, many of us are itinerant.
- [00:01:15.208]And so we work
- [00:01:17.210]in several schools with a variety of
- [00:01:20.146]students
- [00:01:21.181]with a variety of strengths and needs
- [00:01:24.451]in different settings.
- [00:01:25.985]And for those of us who are itinerant,
- [00:01:28.555]sometimes our supervisors
- [00:01:30.223]are a school principal.
- [00:01:32.092]Sometimes it's a
- [00:01:33.359]special education administrator.
- [00:01:36.196]Often they
- [00:01:37.831]don't have as much background in vision.
- [00:01:40.967]And don't have
- [00:01:43.870]access to our caseloads. They aren't
- [00:01:46.539]you know, because of the privacy laws,
- [00:01:48.274]they aren't
- [00:01:49.409]able to know everything
- [00:01:51.144]that we do. At least that was
- [00:01:53.179]my experience
- [00:01:54.581]in my job previous to this.
- [00:01:57.517]How can we help
- [00:01:59.953]special education administrators
- [00:02:02.655]or principals feel confident in
- [00:02:05.091]giving performance feedback to
- [00:02:08.595]itinerant teachers?
- [00:02:10.363]And how do we help
- [00:02:12.065]TVIs
- [00:02:12.699]maybe talk a little bit more about
- [00:02:14.033]their job and educate people
- [00:02:15.635]on what it is we do?
