[blindkid] Braille Instructor question

[Albert J Rizzi]

If you are going to teach in a school I think you would need to have a
bachelors  degree and a masters degree.  If you were interested in teaching
braille I know that Hadley teachs it as well as some of the rehabilitation
centers in most states. I would think it would all depend on where and who
you wanted to teach.

Subject: [blindkid] Braille Instructor question

Hi everyone!
I was wondering what the qualifications are to become a braille teacher.

My understanding is to become a TVI you have to first have an education
degree + teaching certificate then the TVI designation is added on by a
masters degree.  Is that correct?
Is a TVI the only professional allowed to teach braille?  Is there such a
thing as a certified braille instructor that is not a TVI?  If so, what is
the educational background required for that?

Thanks!
