just did it. sent an email to the chair asking if i can take the reduced/free classes to get another certification so that i can work with autistic children in montreal. the situation here is pretty dire and if i can get the certification i could easily get a job. there is a waitlist that can be up to three years.
the email also lets the chair know that i didn't get a class this term. this is in case the assistant chair, who has a grudge against me, arranged for me not to have a class (she's tried this overtly in the past). it won't look good for their accreditation visit if someone who meets so many criteria they need isn't working, but the chair isn't paying attention to that kind of thing because it's the job of the assistant.
