Subject: [NOBE-L] October 13 conference call for blind post secondary
 educators
Message-ID: <FFD18840-196E-4C05-8BB2-F1070A70BD87@gmail.com>


Greetings all!

On Sunday evening October 13, 2019 the National Organization of Blind Educators  will hold our second conference call specifically geared toward blind educators working at the post secondary level.  For several years, NOBE has been holding conference calls to support blind teachers working in grades K-12.  This time, we are hoping to provide blind educators working with students at the college and graduate level with a real time forum to share best practices and troubleshoot challenges.

The call will last for approximately an hour, beginning at 8:00pm eastern time.  

We would like to ensure that the content of this upcoming call will be as useful as possible to everyone attending.  Therefore, we are requesting that those interested in participating do two things.  

1.        First, please send me an email off-list at caitryl at gmail.com, with the subject line ?conference call?. A few days before the call, I will send out an email to everyone which will include the phone number and instructions for signing onto the call.  

2.       Second, in the body of your message, please offer any suggestions you may have about topics to discuss on the call.  We can?t promise we?ll get to everything, but if we know what you?re interested in discussing, we can plan our adgenda with that in mind.

 We look forward to hearing from you all!  

Sincerely,

Cayte Mendez 

President, National Organization of Blind Educators, a division of the National Federation of the Blind

Hi everyone,
I have not written in this group in a loooong time. For those who
don't know me, and that's probably a lot of you, I'm Jewel. I was a
live-in nanny in my 20's before I lost my sight, and now I am ready to
go back to school to become an early childhood educator to work in a
preschool. But I have a lot of worries about how I would do the
job...keeping up with the kids, helping them learn, observing them,
filling out forms, etc. If someone who works in a preschool setting
cold write to me, I'd be very grateful because this is really on my
mind lately. I start school in January for a 2-year degree in Early
Childhood Education, but I'm worried it will be a useless degree, that
no one will hire me and that I'll ave wasted my time and resources.
Please someone write me and reassure me that this job can be done by a
blind person and share your experiences of how it can be done!
Thank you,
Jewel

Hi Jewel,

I have a certificate to teach early childhood.  I have taught kindergarten and first grade, and am certified to teach pre-school but haven?t yet.  You might want to check out this podcast:

Here?s the blurb: 

?This episode of the Nation?s Blind Podcast continues our back to school series as Chris Danielsen chats with Cayte Mendez, a blind teacher in New York, about how she prepares for the year ahead. Cayte also offers some tips for blind people hoping to become teachers?

I hope this helps.  Please feel free to email me if you have more questions!

Forgive me for communicating to the listserv this way, but I have tried to
unsubscribe twice following the instructions at the bottom of every email. I
am not a blind educator, and do not wish to be on the listserve. Can someone
either remove me, or tell me how to do it permanently? Again, my apologies
for this use of the listserve..

Hi Cayte,

This is a great interview! You explain everything so well and so clearly. This would be great even for employers to listen to as a resource. Thank you for sharing this with us.
