A group of TVIs from across the state who meet virtually to gain new skills and learn from each other. Our goal is to provide professional development on topics relevant to TVIs.
Recognizing everyone has their own areas of expertise, experience, and skills to bring to the table, we like to encourage everyone to share them with the group, which involves group members taking an active role in presenting.
CTLE and ACVREP credits available.
Cost (includes all 5 sessions, 10 CEUs total):
$100 for AER members, $150 for non-members, and institutional members can enroll 3 people for the AER member price.
