| Bio: William Vicars (Bill) | |||
Hello! A little about me: I've taught American Sign Language for over 15 years. I'm hard-of-hearing. My wife, Belinda, is Deaf. I'm certified by the American Sign Language Teachers Association, have a masters in Deaf Education from Lamar University (accredited), and a Ph.D. in Human Services from Pacific Western University. I also have and earned, accredited, doctorate in Deaf Studies/Deaf education from Lamar University. I used to hold a few computer certifications. All of them
have probably expired by now, but it took a bunch of time and money to get
them so I'm going to list 'em: Bill

Later it became evident that to have "rock solid" credibility I'd have to go with an accredited college. I chose Lamar University because of their excellent program and consistent support for best practices in Deaf Education. (They are innovative and willing to let me run with new ideas and technology). There are a number of accredited distance education doctoral programs out there now with minimal residency requirements that are certainly worth checking into. My wife is in the process of pursuing an accredited degree in creative writing from a distance education program offered by Union Institute (an affiliate of Vermont College). I think as long as whatever degree you get is accredited by one of the regional accrediting agencies that are approved by the U.S. Dept. of Education--you be better off. Bill |
