Mel - I am assuming that you are the "Mel"/BD teacher I have
chatted with on Tnet in the past. If so, some things to tell
you : 1) At the end of this semester, I will receive my
uncertified BA degree in secondary education/social studies.
I chose to not student teach mainstream social studies
because the only students I can truly communicate with and be
effective with are BD students. 2) I already have nine hours
toward my masters BD ED degree, and I will officially be in
the masters program at UMKC in the winter semester. 3) My
first masters course in the winter will most likely be in
Olathe with severe self-contained elementary students
(practicum). 4) Last, but certainly not least, I have heard
two completely different answers that could effect my special
ed. career. On one hand, the head of the masters program
says that unlike KCMO, Kansas will only give me my temporary
certification when I am within 9 hours of completing my
masters. On the other hand, I have spoken to several long-
time Kansas BD teachers who have all told me that Kansas will
give me my BD temporary certification with 9 hours toward my
masters. Any information you might have regarding this issue
would be greatly appreciated!
