But for Hipp, working with her students is its own reward. In describing the challenge of teaching such a visual subject to sight-impaired students, Hipp comments that there is no book that tells you how to teach the visually impaired. “The kids teach me as much as I teach them,” she adds. Walking into her colorful classroom, you would never suspect that Hipp’s students were sight-impaired. Hipp graduated from NC State with a lot of experience working with at-risk children through an
