[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and the Special Needs & Inclusion degree is offered in the school of education. It just doesn't certify you to be a teacher. You have to do that separately. It's a one year master's.[/quote]

Well, in a way, that's how it works in the US, too. For example, many education schools offer a 5-year program wherein you get a BA/BS in a major subject, and complete the master's education work (and your student teaching, I think). And in the master's work, you specialize in secondary ed or elementary ed or special ed, etc. It sounds like the degree you are talking about is also a specialization that typically is pursued by people who are getting or already have gotten their teaching certification.

If you came back to the states with that degree, you would still need to get certified to teach, and in most states that means completing the education requirements and doing student teaching. So you would still be at least a year away from getting into a classroom. If that's where you even want to be?

I'll be honest, it doesn't sound like a great plan to me, it sounds like spinning your wheels. If what you really want is to be a SLP, can you wait until you get back to the states and go back to school then? How long will you be abroad?[/quote]
