WSSB Outreach Access Services will once again offer sessions to support professionals who are learning Unified English Braille.
Who is this class for? Adults who want to learn to read braille visually and transcribe print into braille. The class will prepare participants to pass the Washington State Unified English Braille Competency Exam. Washington school staff who are teaching braille or producing braille for students are required to demonstrate proficiency in UEB: WAC 181-82-130.
When: The class will start at the end of September and end in May. Participants will receive recorded instructional videos corresponding to lessons in the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing.
The schedule will differ from past years, with Zoom sessions being held every two weeks on Wednesday afternoons to review the lessons. Participants must practice braille reading and transcription for each lesson between sessions.
Cost: The class is free. Participants will need a copy of the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing – UEB Edition, 2015, which is available online to view or download for free.
Other Materials: Participants will need a Perkins Brailler, slate and stylus, and Braille paper. More information about materials will be sent after registering for the class.
Washington state clock hours will be available at the end of the course.
