30 year career in blindness and low vision

Rebecca M.

I have a lifetime experience with an accomplished blind father, I knew braille before I could write with a pencil. I have a 30 year career in blindness and low vision. Louis Braille is one of my heroes. I love to teach braille and orientation and mobility. I am a dedicated professional who is seeking braille students so that no one gets behind in their skills.

I have a 30 plus year career in teaching.

I have been Adjunct Faculty and ESL manager at the University Level. I enjoy breaking down language barriers and learning from students with language backgrounds from around the globe.

I love to spell, I love to teach spelling, I love the moment when a student "clicks" and realizes that those 26 letters combined can make hundreds of thousands of words. I was the spelling bee champ in grade school.

I enjoy civics and social studies, most students find it boring but taught the right way there is much to learn in social studies.

I have an MEd from the University of Mississippi and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

I use a lot of materials of interest to engage students, I have taught reading to people of all ages and I enjoy teaching people how to read, it opens the world up to them. I have concerns that braille students are not getting their deserved lessons due to COVID and I would like to offer my services to make sure they keep up with their braille lessons.
