[4alabama] Recruiting at Louisiana Tech

[techrecruit at lcb-ruston.com]

The Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness at
Louisiana Tech University is currently recruiting students for the
upcoming year.  We offer a Master of Arts in Educational Psychology with
concentration in Orientation and Mobility (O&M), a Master of Arts in
Teaching Blind Students, and a Master of Science in Curriculum and
Instruction with cognate in Teaching Blind Students (TBS).  These are the
only programs in the country that are founded with the Federation
philosophy.  The Institute on Blindness does not discriminate against any
applicants and actively recruits people who are blind, sighted, and of
diverse backgrounds.

It is extremely important that blind individuals receive training from
teachers who possess good blindness skills.  Teachers of the blind must
believe in the skills they are teaching and in the abilities of blind
people.  Members of the National Federation of the Blind who have been
through our graduate programs are excellent teachers because of their
philosophy about blindness.  Graduates of our programs are continually
sought after, having numerous employment opportunities upon graduation.

We are looking for individuals who are ready to enter a graduate program,
but we are also interested in speaking with anyone who may want to pursue
a career teaching in the field of blindness in any capacity. We invite all
qualified individuals with positive attitudes about blindness who desire a
meaningful career teaching cane travel or Braille to blind children or
adults to apply for our programs. Funding is available on a competitive
basis for qualified applicants.

For more information, you may also view our brochures online.
