DVIDB Professional Standards Committee
Deborah Hatton, Chair
Committee Report
April 11, 2016
This committee is in a planning stage and has started planning
for revisions of the initial and advanced specialty standard sets for
teachers of students with visual impairments. Tiffany Wild, Deborah
Hatton, Sandy Lewis, and Holly Lawson had an organizational
phone call conference on March 23, 2016. Potential organizational
partners were identified, and letters inviting these organizations to
participate will be sent shortly.
We anticipate asking for assistance in developing the
background concept paper and literature review that CEC requires
as the first step in developing updated standards. Our goal is to
have a draft of the initial licensure standards for input from
colleagues at the International AER Conference this summer.
