Help Sue become a special ed teacher
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Sue. I just finished training to become a substitute teacher.
While at the training, I was told of an opportunity offered by the Department of Public Instruction to become a Special Education Teacher.
I thought THAT is what I want to do!
Then I found out the cost.
$9000.00 and I need some of that by August 20th.
The cost breakdown is this :
$75 for the registration paperwork
$600 after I am accepted into the program
$840 a month for 10 months
and I will then be certified by the state of Wisconsin to teach special ed
(once I pass all the tests)
Can I do this? Of course I can. As my husband says I can do anything I set my mind to.
I got my bachelors degree in 18 months through a special program at Concordia University in 1997. I graduated CumLaude. My last semester of school I earned 47 credits by testing out of most of them.
WHY do I want to do this?
I have 5 sons. 4 of them have disabilities. 2 are hearing impaired 2 are Autistic one is Neurotypical. I have been dealing with disability issues for 26 years with my kids, 20 years with them in the school system. I have been on the parent side of the table.
I have known great teachers. Passionate, creative people who have inspired kids to want to learn more. I want to be that person for someone. I want to help a child reach their goals. I want help a young adult find their path.
Help me do this please.
My first goal is to get into the program
$ 675.00
The second will be to pay for the first months tuition
$840.00
From there I will be working while going to this training. It is my hope that I will be able to pay for most of the training out of my earnings as a Substitute teacher. Hopefully I will get enough hours to do so.
I will need to teach a minimum of 8 days a month to pay for the training.
So that is it. I want to help kids. This education will make it possible.
I will keep you posted of my progress and of things I am passionate about in special education.
