[nobe-l] Spanish Teacher

Mon Oct 24 21:20:39 UTC 2011

Hi Robby,

I'm in the same boat as you. I graduated with a BA in Spanish in 2010, and
considered going for my masters in Spanish, but then I thought that teaching
it in a public school might interest me more than doing research or teaching
at the university level. I'm still not entirely sure of what I want to do
next... Right now I'm working as a language and cultural assistant in Spain
(el programa de auxiliares de conversacion) through the Ministry of Ed. The
school I have been placed in has been very helpful and has accommodated me,
but I still think I could do more than what they ask of me. I want to show
them that they should expect more from me as both a blind person and a
language assistant. I don't have a lot of teaching experience, but luckily
teaching experience isn't really one of the main requirements of the
program. You should check that out as an option. I think it would give you
an idea if teaching is really what you want to do. So far... Well, I'm not
sure how I feel about it. I've only been here for a month... Anyway, you
should definitely check out the program. I don't know the exact website, but
if you Google Auxiliares de conversacion en espana you'll find it!

Suerte,

Chelsey

Hello,

I am a Spanish major about to finish up in the spring.  I am considering
going on to get my masters to teach Spanish but I have some concerns.  I
have been told that it is unrealistic to think that I would ever be hired in
a public school system as a blind person, mostly due to difficulty with
disciplinary issues.  Are there any blind public school teachers on this
list?  Could anyone provide me with some feedback on this concern?  I have
been told, however, that blind people have been more successful teaching in
private schools or the university level.

Thanks,
Robby

Hi,
  I teach high school English in a public school. Your concerns are valid,
though it can be done. I was hired in 1992 by a principal who liked to be a
risk taker. I didn?t care, as long as my foot was in the door. Eventually,
the school corporation hired an aide to help with paperwork, discipline
support, and later computer things that are not accessible with Window Eyes.
Had I been looking for a job today, I think things would have been even
harder as so many corporations are in financial strain, thus making the
hiring of an aide not an easy reasonable accommodation for a new situation.
With the student population we have, the large class sizes, and the diverse
needs, my current position would not be possible for me to do well without
sighted adult eyes to supplement, either in this paid aide position or by
volunteer helpers. I do think private schools and definitely universities
are prospects where some increased ease might exist. Again, the public
school thing is doable. It just takes a whole lot of ducks being lined up in
a row and a whole lot of courage and persistence.

I agree Cathy. I was told the same as Robby. I too am a Spanish teacher. I
talked with the principal of my local high school and he said it could be
donmne but it would be costly. Good luck Robby on whatever you decide to do.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.  I can only imagine it being more difficult in
1992 given that the technology wasn't nearly as advanced as it is today.
Honestly, due to being a very confident and forward individual, I can never
fathom that my blindness can hold me back from doing anything; thus, the
reason it hits me so hard when I am told that I will have challenges doing
something such as teaching.  Right now, however, I am just trying to decide
whether I should go on and get my Masters in Spanish, which would qualify me
to teach private schools or universities, or get my Masters in Education
which would get me the certificate to teach in public schools.  I may go on
to the Spanish Masters as it is Spanish that interests me the most and not
so much taking child developmental courses at the Masters level.  Also,
there is the option of graduating and seeing what I can find with simply my
undergrad.  

Thanks,
Robby

Robby,
Try and get experience first before any more education. Your experience will
guide you even more when you go to grad school. You can do this!! You said
you are confident and forward...with your education behind you...you can do
this now.

Yourtechvision.com <http://www.yourtechvision.com/> is a site with your
Microsoft products, JAWs/Internet and a plethora of other blind tools all
available using exclusively keystrokes. Every lesson is compatible with
talking software. Yourtechvision.com has individual lessons and now has bulk
lessons, so when you order the lesson, it will take you from the basics of
instruction, through advanced techniques. All based on keystrokes, you will
fly over the keyboard just as this student who only had 2 weeks of
instruction before getting back to her classes independently.

 If you need a lesson that is not on the site, just go to the contact page
and make a request. Over a couple hundred articles are on the first page
with links 2, 3, 4 etc to following pages describing all types of
instructional answers to teaching. Enjoy!
