When I am selecting my qualifications to teach special education do you know which areas I should select? I thought it would be mild to moderate but now I am not sure? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

southernteach haha Also, it really seems to depend on which analyst looks at your application.

haha Sad but true. Being hired for your dream job really shouldn't be quite so arbitrary and subject to an individual persons whims and interpretations.
