[Jobs] Job Opening Kansas--Structured Discovery Braille & techteacher

[James Konechne]

Thanks, Hope,
I have all those skills and have attended blindness training at Blind
Inc in Minneapolis.
I am jst wondering if they'll consider me with no formal teaching experience.
I think I need to lean heavily on my skills of braille and alsothe
idea that having a blind instructor would be a huge confidence booster
for the students I'd be working with.  There's nothing like having
someone that's already done what you want to do, teach you how.
