Future Educators Wanted
Get paid to proctor the SAT & ACT
Future Educators Wanted!
Get paid to proctor the SAT and ACT during the school day!
High Schools often have students whose disabilities require testing accommodations above and beyond what can be provided at the standard weekend administration of the ACT and SAT, and we would love to have an aspiring educator come in to assist with this process. The ACT and SAT have testing dates each school month (sometimes even in the summer), and these exceptional testing sessions last all day on one, two, or even three consecutive school days.
You would be expected to monitor the student throughout testing. Depending on the student’s disability, you may be asked to scribe or type dictated responses, or read the test to the student. The ACT and SAT typically pays at least $125 for a full day of testing, and the rate increases from there.
If you are interested in being on the call list for Pikesville High School, please email Mr. Jeremy Goldman at jgoldman@bcps.org.

Transitioning to college from high school and home
Freshman is ready to go solo. Mom/parent not so much.
Transitioning to college from high school is a big shift, for students and parents. Anna Sales speaks with Miguel Llapa, a rising college freshman with a disability. "As I got older, I started to feel more dependent when I wanted to be independent. Because I was always in and out of the hospital, I always had someone with me. I always had someone accompany me, which I loved. But after some time, you know, I started to grow, to feel like I wanted to test things out on my own."
Miguel, alongside his mom, talks about his excitement about heading off to college and living independently for the first time - in conversation with his mom during this Death, Sex and Money podcast (linked) episode. -
Transcript available at the link.
Those returning to campus can look at campus accessibility updates on UMBC's most recent
2021 Accessible Route Map. Facilities Management has been busy while faculty, staff and students were remote - beyond upgrades such as installing hospital-grade air filtration systems. Additional assisted doors have been installed in several academic buildings, accessible door handles have been added, and five (5) elevators are being replaced: two in Fine Arts, two in Sondheim, and one in Biology's Schwartz Hall, so the campus is welcoming new upgrades as well.
The post is accompanied by a photo of a musician with brown forearms holding mallets that are poised to play a marimba.
P.S. Campus maps get updated from time-to-time, and the most recent accessible route map is posted to the
Campus Maps page within Visit UMBC, to better inform people, especially those who are coming to campus for the first time.
