[Pibe-division] Pibe-division Digest, Vol 80, Issue 1

Sun Jan 4 20:24:15 UTC 2015

Any college is fine. In state is cheaper. 
You do not have to major in special education if your in state college does not offer it.   I am also going to be a teacher for blind students.  My college that i am going to transfer to is called georgia state because in May i will be done with my general freshman classes.  I live in Georgia and i am currently attending a community college near my home. I already took a tour of Georgia state and I talk with the education department director and i will be attending Georgia state in the fall.  I am going to major in early childhood which is grade k to 5 
It is different from birth to 5 years old. 
I am going to miner in special education 
So early childhood from grade k to 5 is a good major and general elementary teaching are good majors for undergrad 
You would then apply to a grad school that offers a TBS degree. 
Some good grad schools for TBS are Louisiana Tech, Northern Illinois University, and Vanderville.

If you have any more questions then you can email me at desai1shikha at gmail.com 
You can also text or call me at 678-641-9906

I have decided that I would like to pursue a career as a teacher of blind students (aka teacher of the visually impaired, VI teacher, etc.) So far I have found some information on the Internet on colleges which offer such a major, some as an undergraduate program and many others as a Masters program. The only information I currently have, however, is the material posted on individual college Web sites and an extensive directory from the Texas School for the Blind. I would therefore like to get some feedback from those who have walked this path before me. What are some colleges you recommend? What are the pros and cons of each program? Also, do you think it is better to obtain a BS in special ed with a consentration in visual impairment, as offered by schools such as Kutztown University in Pensylvania, or pursue a bachelor?s in special ed and wait until grad school to concentrate on blindness? Any insights and experience you could provide me would be much appreciated.
