My experience encompasses a wide variety of jobs over the years. I earned my BS and MEd at the University of Pittsburgh and started my career as an assistant houseparent at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children. So my heart, family, and education are rooted in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania! I subsequently became a Teacher of the Visually Impaired working in PA, MA, CA, ID, TN, and now Florida, and also an Elementary Teacher in CA and ID followed by Alternate Assessment Coordinator Digital Learning Coordinator at the Idaho State Department of Education. I now work virtually as a TVI in two states ID and FL and have my own LLC En-vision Consulting! I have a PhD in Educational Leadership and Technology which I did not receive until I was 60! Lifetime learning and a life of service, working to make the world a better place is the key to happiness and the true joy of living. I love to learn about new technologies and work with students with visual impairments! I pray I have a positive impact on everyone, students, families, and professionals God brings into my life! I deeply appreciate the opportunity to be featured by Stephanae McCoy on Bold Blind Beauty and Teens in Flight and join her in promoting understanding and acceptance of people with differing abilities! The world is enriched by people of varying visual abilities! My favorite quote is, "Be the change you want to see in the world" Ghandi My message to all who read this be that change!Bullet points of key topics & timestamps:00:00 | Welcome & Introduction02:02 | Dr. Scholz's Journey into Education08:42 | The Impact of Storytelling12:56 | Success Stories from Students15:36 | Challenges and Solutions in Education16:56 | Save The Date 18:33 | Assistive Technology in the Classroom23:11 | Conclusion and Future AspirationsConnect with Bold Blind Beauty to learn more about our advocacy: Join our Instagram community @BoldBlindBeauty Subscribe to our YouTube channel @BoldBlindBeauty Check out our website www.boldblindbeauty.com Music Credit: "Ambient Uplifting Harmonic Happy" By Panda-x-music https://audiojungle.net/item/ambient-uplifting-harmonic-happy/46309958Thanks for listening!❤️
