[Pibe-division] student teaching experience

[Mary Willows]

Hi Courtney,
My name is Mary Willows.  I am a teacher of the visually impaired.  The 
requirements for a credential depends upon you state requirements.  When I 
started down this path I had to earn a regular credential first before I 
could apply to a program to teach blind children.  Read me story in the 
"Wall to Wall Thanksgiving".  It is one of the kernel books.
At this point in my career I hold a "Professional Clear, Multiple Subjects 
Credential (Pre-school through adult)
a Special EducationCredential (Visually handicapped) and a Masters Degree in 
Education.
Basiclly, I can teach anywhere, anytime, any place and to any age group. 
That the way you want to go.  That way you will have choices about where you 
work.

If you have any questions about student teaching please write.
