Why Proctor the Braille Challenge with Your Student?

Braille Challenge is available in two formats:

1. In-Person at Regional Event
2. Proctored by a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI).

If a student is unable to attend a regional event in person, we highly recommend the TVI-proctored format.

Proctoring Made Easy for Teachers of the Visually Impaired

Teachers of the Visually Impaired are invited to order contests starting in December using our online contest order form. After you submit a form for one or more students, our team will promptly provide the necessary electronic supplemental materials. Contests will be shipped to the address you specify, along with a participation swag bag and a small gift for the proctoring teacher.

After administering the contest, simply return the completed materials. Your student(s) will then be eligible for the next round: Braille Challenge Finals.

Determining Grade Level

Teachers of the Visually Impaired will help determine the most appropriate age group category for each student. For emerging braille learners, we recommend the Foundational category. Discover more and order materials for this non-competitive category here.

Note: Students testing at grade level are eligible for Braille Challenge Finals.
