[NOBE-L] Preschool and podcast

[Catherine Mendez]

Hi Jewel,

I have a certificate to teach early childhood.  I have taught kindergarten and first grade, and am certified to teach pre-school but haven’t yet.  You might want to check out this podcast:

Here’s the blurb: 

“This episode of the Nation’s Blind Podcast continues our back to school series as Chris Danielsen chats with Cayte Mendez, a blind teacher in New York, about how she prepares for the year ahead. Cayte also offers some tips for blind people hoping to become teachers”

I hope this helps.  Please feel free to email me if you have more questions!
