I would like to get my masters in education/ special ed. I live in Brooklyn and would like to do Seit or maybe teach in a headstart. My two schooling options now are the sunday at tti program or the adult program at Sarah schneerer. Have you been to either? How was it? I have kids already KAH. How was job placement afterward? Any info appreciated

Im leaning towards Sara Schnierer because their program gives you certification in birth thru 2nd AND 1st thru 6. You also have the option of taking an additional 2 courses to become certified in grades 7-12 as well.

The other options I was considering were SUNY online, Brooklyn college and Touro .

There are always openings in early intervention (0-3). It shouldn't be a problem finding work. You can do evaluations as well.

I disagree. I had a very hard time finding SEIT positions and Headstart teaching positions. Unless other jobs interest you, such as P3 or working with developmentally delayed children, I'd reconsider the field. It's extremely flooded.

This is true. I work in the management for an early intervention agency. I am in touch with the board of early intervention. I do staffing as well. There is a high need for special educators to provide special instruction, and providers of aba services.

You may not always get in the exact location you would like. You may not always be working with jews. It is homecare. There is some more paperwork involved. But, it pays better. You can sign up with multiple agencies so that you have more likely hood of being assigned cases near you.

Additionally, ei is changing now. They looking for providers whose documentation gives the whole picture of a child. They find the providers that they like, and those providers are recognized.

Ei is moving to EMR. By the time you graduate, documentation and paperwork should be a lot simpler.

The department of early intervention is looking to add new providers to NYC EIP. It is a good time to go into it. Not only special educators, but all therapists and service coordinators.

I don't believe I am allowed to post our company's name on this site, but I know that we are actively hiring right now. I'm sure many other agencies are as well.

indigo do you see either school as a better place to go to in terms of the ladies who come out being better trained and more prepared? Or does where you go not make much of a difference its just more about the paper that you come out with?

I'm not Indigo, but for this I'd definitely say Sara Schenirer, based purely on my own experiences with graduates of both programs.
