Presents selected findings of a national survey of teachers of the visually handicapped to measure their attitudes toward competencies in seven areas of teaching activity: Assessment and Evaluation; Educational Instructional Strategies; Guidance and Counseling; Administration and Supervision; Media and Technology; School and Community Relations; and Research.
