[nabs-l] Studying to be a Teacher of the Visually Impaired

[Rob Lambert]

I guess i have one main question. The way it goes currently is one must have a bachelors in a generalist resource room special ed license. Beyond that, they must then attain a masers on their area of choice if they choose to specialize in anything (i.e. teaching us as students with visual challenges). My question to you is this. Since the TVI has a drastic change in their position (i.e. adapting materials, teaching braille, etc). from the general resource room teacher (not to mention working one on one versus having 10 or 15 or more students), do you think the resource room practicum is even NECESSARY?

If it's alright, I would like to converse with that individual in private

me to post the qustions to the list just tell me.
