Hello, I am originally from New Jersey were I held a school
social workers certification and case managed special
education. I held that same certification in Georgia and
taught alternative route special education there for two
years. When I married and moved here a year ago, I
realized that Alabama does not have a school social work
certification and those positions are usually handled on a
district by district basis. I really want back in public
education. I miss the 10 month year. To pay the bills, I
dusted off my nursing lic. and work shifts as a nurse
currently in home care. I miss the children. My masters
degree is in social work with concentration in counseling
children and families from Fordham University in NY. I
need a mentor who can advise me on what route to take here
in Alabama. Ultimately I would like to be a guidance
counselor but I think you have to teach here first? Or
perhaps at my age -49- I should just get a start at
teaching jr. college? I would appreciate any help you can
offer....thanks very much for your time....Deborah
