Special Ed Preschool Teachers?
I am thinking of a career as a Special Ed Preschool Teacher for the Deaf and HOH in California. Does anyone have any information or advise they can pass on? I need to know info on certification, tests and what ever else you may know. I already have a B.A .in CAD and I minored in SPED. It would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe I should have phrased my question a bit different. I'm looking for someone who has already gone through the experience to serve as somewhat of a mentor. Someone who I could pick their brains and would be able to answer the odd question that I may have, Believe I am going by the information I gather from my school. I was just hoping to hear some first hand experience.

A mentor is usually given to once hired. I'd contact the school system ASAP to see what the requirements are so that you could be offered a job.
We are in different states, but preschool is usually not that specific. Many states have fully mainstreamed their deaf & HOH kids into regular classrooms. Others have eliminated special education preschool classroom altogether and are serving them in at-risk four year old classrooms with lower adult-student ratios. So, definetely ask what changes have happened and what may or may not happen in the next few years.
Best wishes to you!
