Meet the CEO of SEE: How We Built a Global O&M Community for Educators

Feb 25, 2025

Too often, professional development opportunities feel out of reach—whether due to high costs, travel requirements, or simply a lack of specialized training that truly applies to the students you serve. That’s exactly why the Society of Exceptional Educators (SEE) was created.

SEE is a community-driven organization designed to equip educators with effective teaching strategies, professional growth opportunities, and a supportive network—all accessible from anywhere in the world

A Professional Learning Community Designed for Educators Like You

The Society of Exceptional Educators (SEE) was built to meet the unique needs of educators working with students with visual impairments. Our community includes:

  • Orientation & Mobility (O&M) Specialists
  • Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVIs)
  • Special Education Teachers
  • General Educators Supporting Students with Disabilities

Our mission is to remove barriers to professional development by providing high-quality training, practical resources, and a global community—without the need for costly travel or time away from your students.

As an educator, you deserve access to the best tools and strategies available, no matter where you are.

The Power of Online Professional Development

Traditional professional development often comes with significant challenges:

  • Expensive conference fees
  • Time away from students and family
  • A lack of specialized training tailored to your unique role

With online professional development, educators gain flexibility, accessibility, and high-impact learning without these obstacles.

Through SEE, you can:

  • Learn from top experts in the field without leaving home
  • Access training on your schedule—whether during your lunch break or on the weekend
  • Gain practical, research-backed strategies you can implement immediately

One of our most impactful programs is the International Orientation & Mobility Online Symposium. Each year, O&M specialists from across the globe come together for an immersive learning experience, featuring expert-led sessions, collaborative discussions, and strategies that make a real difference in the field.

Prioritizing Work-Life Balance for Educators

Teaching is more than a profession—it’s a passion. But without the right balance, burnout is inevitable.

Many educators find themselves struggling to manage workloads, stay efficient, and maintain personal well-being. At SEE, we understand that you can’t serve your students well if you’re running on empty. That’s why our professional development offerings also focus on:

  • Time management strategies for teachers
  • Burnout prevention and self-care techniques
  • Practical ways to work efficiently without sacrificing quality

By prioritizing your well-being, we help ensure that you can continue making a meaningful impact—without feeling overwhelmed.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for practical strategies, professional growth, and a supportive community of educators, the Society of Exceptional Educators is here for you.

We believe that all educators should have access to high-quality training and a strong professional network, no matter where they are. Join us today and take the next step in making a lasting impact on your students.
