The Vincennes Community School Corporation (VCSC) is proud to celebrate two teachers who have recently become fully licensed to teach special education.
Whitney Clinton and Brayden Brown successfully completed the Indiana Special Education Assisted Licensure (I-SEAL) program.
The I-SEAL program addresses Indiana’s special education teacher shortage by providing financial and academic support to educators.
Through I-SEAL, current teachers can complete graduate coursework to earn their special education licensure at no cost.
Funded by federal grants, the program ensures that more students with disabilities have access to qualified special education teachers.
Whitney Clinton is a Life Skills teacher at George Rogers Clark Middle School.
“Teaching Life Skills is a joy of mine. Every day is different, and I look forward to helping students reach their full potential,” Clinton shared.
Clinton rejoined the Vincennes Community School Corporation over a year ago, having previously worked with VCSC during the 2022-2023 school year.
She lives in Washington with her husband, three children—who attend Vigo Elementary—and their lively household of pets.
Brayden Brown teaches Special Education at Lincoln High School, working with students with behavioral and emotional needs.
“I take a lot of pride in helping my students tap into their highest potential,” said Brown.
Brown joined VCSC two years ago and has loved every moment of his role.
In addition to teaching, he coaches 7th-grade boys' basketball at Clark Middle School and serves as the JV baseball coach for the Lincoln Alices.
