The world of education is constantly evolving, with innovative approaches, technologies, and methodologies continually shaping the classroom experience. Teachers are lifelong learners, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge. For Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs), staying ahead of these changes is not just beneficial but crucial to providing the best possible education for visually impaired students. One powerful way to do this is by actively participating in TVI symposiums. By attending a symposium, TVIs gain direct access to this wealth of expertise, which can greatly benefit their teaching and empower them to better support their students.
What is TVI Online Symposium?
Allied Independence's TVI Online Symposium, which will happen on September 21st and 22nd, is not your run-of-the-mill online conference. It's a two-day, transformational experience designed to leave you feeling inspired and equipped with actionable knowledge. You'll gain access to innovative teaching strategies, a supportive global community, and the flexibility to attend from anywhere with an internet connection. This provides unique opportunity for both personal and professional development. Allied Independence's main focus is building an inclusive community of VI specialists who are empowered to learn from and connect with one another and the TVI Online Symposium is a realization of this vision, allowing VI specialists to gather virtually and benefit from the curated agenda and innovative teaching techniques shared by top-level professionals in the field.
What to Expect?
Our agenda is packed with live presentations and bonus sessions, all geared towards elevating your teaching skills. It features 14 live presentations and three pre-recorded bonus presentations with a live Q&A session. And the best part? You have options. If you can't make it to the live sessions, we've got you covered with watch parties and three extra weeks to access the content at your convenience. To foster community and networking, there is a networking party scheduled to create a relaxed environment for attendees to connect and share experiences.
We understand the importance of continuing education credits, and we've secured accreditation from ACVREP and attendees will have an opportunity to earn up to 18 continuing education credits. While we can't guarantee approval from your state board, the content aligns with your job duties, making it a valuable resource for your professional development.
The TVI Online Symposium offers various registration options, including purchase orders and split payment options, to accommodate attendees' financial situations. Allied Independence understands the value of attendees' time and endeavors to make the symposium an accessible and worthwhile investment. Ultimately, the TVI Online Symposium represents an opportunity for VI specialists to come together, learn from thought leaders, and cultivate a supportive global community. It is a testament to the power of technology in connecting professionals and advancing the field of vision impairment education.
