Subject: [nobe-l] Urgent: Another call for college students majoring in
 education to help with teacher licensure accessibility
Message-ID: <DM2PR04MB79750FFACFB888D7BB781B3BA870@DM2PR04MB797.namprd04.prod.outlook.com>

Hello, 
I ask you to please spread this message far and wide. ETS is still looking for a current college student majoring in education, someone who is blind or low vision, to serve on a focus group assisting with accessibility of teacher licensure testing. This would involve an all-expense-paid trip and an honorarium for two nights and three days in Princeton, New Jersey, in January. They prefer someone in elementary or secondary education over someone in special ed. Still ideally a junior or senior in college. I do have a feeling, however, that if they cannot find someone with those precise qualifications, they would be willing to be flexible with potentially a sophomore in college or potentially someone in special ed. Please contact me off list if you are possibly interested. They are urgent to fill the slot before the holidays. Please share this on Facebook or other lists as you can. My School email is below for anyone Who might read this on social media.

Hi, I?m a student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I have just been accepted to the Early Childhood Special Education graduate?s program. I received my undergraduate?s degree in education with a focus in Special Education and General Studies. I am working with the Health and Human Services agency in Texas as a Blind Children?s Specialist. I am interested in this opportunity.
Best regards,
Daniel Martinez

Thank you, and thanks to those who wrote off list. If there is anyone else interested, please write me today. I'm going to gather info from all those who responded and send it to ETS later today. They will reach out to continue the process. Note that I do not work for them. I am simply on this focus group in another capacity, and they are asking me to help them fill out the team. Thanks again.
