[NOBE-L] Standard Accommodations as a Blind Teacher, and taking the MTEL

[Miso Kwak]

Hi all, I am writing in preparation of an in-person interview for a
high school teaching job at a charter school in Boston.

First, if anyone on the list has taken the MTEL test in the last 5
years or so, I would love to hear about your experiences of requesting
accommodations, practicing for the test, and actually taking the test.

Secondly, whether you are teaching in the state of Massachusetts or
not, if you are a nearly totally blind teacher teaching mostly sighted
students in the secondary level, I would like to know what is a
typical, standard accommodations you use.
For a better context, I use BrailleSense Polaris, PC with JAWS, and
iPhone. I am unable to read print of any size.

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Miso Kwak
