<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Dear Fellow Educators:</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I would need advice how to meet
the new your state education department that a certified teacher of the blind
and visually impaired needs to be mentored which means to be observed by a
qualified certified teacher of the blind and visually impaired. Since I am self
employed, as an independent related service provider providing vision education
services in new York city to eligible students at the child’s home or approved
non-public school such as a charter school, I must find on my own a retired
qualified certified teacher of the blind and visually impaired within new York
city to assist me in fulfilling the new York state education department
mentoring requirements. I have emailed my university for assistance as well as
one retired qualified certified teacher of the blind and visually impaired
explaining my situation in length. Can anyone suggest a retired qualified
certified teacher of the blind and visually impaired who would be willing to
observe me for 30 hours teaching blind and visually impaired students who have
additional disabilities in a school in Brooklyn <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns
= "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State>. I am willing to pay a qualified
certified teacher for the blind and visually impaired for 330 hours that I need
to be observed for to meet the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New
York</st1:place></st1:State> state education department regarding being
mentored. Thanks for any recommendations fellow educators can suggest as to
people I can contact.</P>
