Goals of the POSB STEM Institute for Instruction
To build community and a support system among teachers of the visually impaired. Often, teachers feel isolated and don’t have easy access to other teachers for guidance and support.
To provide professional development opportunities. The “POSB Institutes for Instruction” would include a training component, focusing on STEM to inspire teachers and provide them with tools to improve their instructional practices.
To establish online communities for individual disciplines in order to provide ease in communication and to share documents and other materials related to instruction.
Sponsors and Donors for 2025
Additional sponsorships will be included as they are received.
