I definitely agree, Carlton. Having such a document or documents on hand could prove useful and instructive in various contexts--for employers and job-seekers. I am happy to collaborate with you on this as well. Thank you for the great idea and for your thorough follow-up!

Colleagues,

I thank Dr. Bell for sharing this announcement. I have only skimmed through it, but it appears to be the best job announcement for a teacher of blind students/visually impaired/low vision that I have ever seen.

I have read so many or job announcement lately, many of which contain requirements for a valid driver's license (which I believe is illegal, but that is another post). Reading this announcement, I believe that we should consider drafting and publishing a model job announcement/description for teachers of blind students/visually impaired/low vision.

If others agree, I volunteer to spearhead and shepherd the effort. I welcome feedback from each of you.

Thank you for your consideration of this idea,
Carlton
