MY STORY:
I had 33 units in MA Sped.
I also did not have SPED teaching experience since I was teaching Computer subjects in the Philippines then. (or so I thought!)
But, during the interview, something popped into my mind -
I did have SPED teaching experiences!
1) I had a computer class with students with speech and hearing impairments.
2) I had one-on-one teaching experience with this gifted kid during my internship!
3) I had a lot of students with Specific Learning Disabilities in both Math and Reading (Yes, I thought they could all be undiagnosed!) *Thus, I was already doing Inclusion or Resource classes!
Why? How?
Because I was constantly giving accommodations, modifications, and doing individualized plans for my students, and that's basically what Special Education is about!
When I convinced my mind that I could do the work, I knew I got it when I had my first and only US interview! And I did.
Mindset matters!
