feedback about what worked well and areas for improvement and/or expansion.
The following are representative comments from participants:
• Teacher script and visual of braille on teacher script were very
helpful.
• The variety of activities and questions kept my student engaged and
interested and motivated him to work hard.
• I like that there is a teacher guide to help explain the concepts, as well
as the special symbols sheet to make the student familiar with the
Nemeth prior to starting the lesson.
• This is for the focused lessons. Would it be possible to expand those?
• Continue to add more symbols, especially those pertaining to Taylor
expansions.
• As usual the [Nemeth Symbol Library] website is fast and responsive,
example BRF files are easily obtained, and the written explanations
were concise and accurate.
On the post-survey, approximately 80% of the participants, including the teachers,
reported an increased knowledge of the Nemeth Code symbols. Thus, the field
study data strongly support the use of this curriculum in teaching the Nemeth
Code.
