1.  Don't corner yourself with "secondary english."  Those jobs are few and far between and very competative.  My wife was certified in both secondary english and elementary education and there were far more of the latter positions available in MC.

My plan, and this is very subject to change, is to get my Bachelor's in Secondary English, start working, and go to grad school part time to get my Master's in Special Education. My absolute ideal job would be to teach high school students with mild to moderate learning or emotional disabilities English/language arts, and possibly Social Studies if I can get certified in that easily.[/quote]

My wife earned her Masters in Special Education and I think you will be better off taking a leave of absence and going full time than trying to do it part time. First, your first three years of teaching are going to suck-up all of your time; there will be no time for part-time classes.  Second, if you get your degree from a top school, you will always be ahead of the pack. Principals like to have a graduate from a top school on their staff.  Taking the time to go to U.Va. for her Masters has really paid off.  What is great is that many of the top ten schools for special ed are state schools, so you could work in the state long enough to become a resident and then apply.  Good luck.[/quote]
