the qualifications and how they differ. We get a five year undergrad degree in ECS(k) Elementary generalist (1-6) or secondary (7-9 or 10-12) with a minor in whichever subject. Of course, we elem eddies have to be good at everything,LOL!
My degree is elem generalist(I can teach ANYTHING in the elem level including music)with a minor in special education..that means identifying, assessing, modifying and etc the curriculum for kids with "differences"-the new buzzword.
I'm doing my New teacher Orientation tomorrow. Yay me. My student teacher and I are doing it together, LOL-I was in a sped class for a month last year and got to send off my colleague's student teacher. She's only 7 years younger than me and is going to be teaching in the same town as me, about five mins away. We'll rock the house.
