The Professional Development Committee has been working hard to
begin the long process of updating our standards for preparing teachers of
students with visual impairments. This committee, which is also under the
leadership of Deborah Hatton, has begun to hold a series of informational
meetings about this process and has done a great job of keeping our division
updated on the progress. Please look for updates of the work of this
committee in upcoming issues of the "Q", upcoming meetings and
conventions, as well as in social media posts.
Amy Parker and Nicole Johnson volunteered their time to represent our
division at the CEC Leadership Meeting. This is an annual meeting in the
summer that brings together leadership teams from all divisions and chapters.
It gives these leaders a chance to receive updates from the larger CEC
organization, training on membership and leadership endeavors, and time to
plan for the next year's CEC convention. Amy and Nicole presented their
notes to the board and the board will use this information in planning for the
upcoming year.
Last but not least the summer has always been a time for professional
development. Many of you have spent time attending training sessions,
