International Contacts-Part 3

The issues that are being discussed around me include the rules and regulations of Medicaid, eligibility requirements for children to qualify for special services, and the cost of daycare. As I have previous mentioned. I work for a daycare in the DDS department (Development Delayed Services) and it is funded by Medicaid for students who are eligible to attend based on their evaluation reports. The rules and regulations are getting tougher and tougher. We have to make sure all our I's and T's are crossed, because we are dealing with the federal government. We have different professional developments through out the year and it is also available for us to receive it online if we were interested. My professional goal is to receive my certification and get a job in teaching and recruiting, but I know I will have to go into to the classroom first as a stepping stone. I hope my time in the classroom is not as a long time, because I feel I can be more beneficial in the area of finding and recruiting teachers. One challenge that I am facing now is that I am kind of stuck on which area I would like to teach or what age level and that is something that needs to be decided in order for me to move further in my educational venture. I am hoping to pass my program and move on to my next educational level.
