The manual provides guidelines for Georgia teachers of visually impaired students. Eight topics are examined (sample subtopics in parentheses): definitions; eligibility criteria; due process; program organization (organization and administration, delivery models, personnel, teacher competencies); instructional programs (assessment chart, special materials and equipment); program evaluation; resources (professional, community, and state organizations); and the Georgia Academy for the Blind. Included in five appendixes are a list of materials and supplies and a vocabulary of terms related to the eye. (CL)
