OVERVIEW: 

With your graduate degree in deaf education, you will be considered an expert in your field. There is a likelihood that you will be the only deaf education expert on your campus. Assume that your principal has asked you to present two trends in deaf education to your colleagues at the start of school professional development week.

OBJECTIVES: 

2. Effectively research and evaluate various types of print and web-based materials on issues such as law, federal and state policies, and contemporary issues in deaf education.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Using Microsoft Sway, PowerPoint, (in your TWU office.com account), or a Google GSuite tool (also in your TWU account), create a professional presentation that you could share with your colleagues. Remember to consider your audience. You must indicate who you are presenting to…ie. general ed teachers on a public school campus, deaf ed teachers on a residential school campus, general ed teachers for an itinerant student, etc. Defining the audience is going to be important as the training and experience with deaf education will vary between groups. 

You may choose to present to your current school situation or where you believe you would like to be. Select two of the topics below for your presentation:

• CREATING/UPDATING IEPS FOR DEAF STUDENTS THAT MEET  ENDREW STANDARDS
• INVOLVEMENT OF FATHERS OF CHILDREN WHO ARE DEAF
• WORKING WITH LATINX STUDENTS WHO ARE DEAF/HARD OF HEARING
• THE CHANGING ROLES OF TEACHERS OF THE DEAF

You may use the resources from this module to help locate additional resources for your presentation. 

The presentation content must include: 

• explanation of what the topic is; 
• explanation of why it is important to teachers of students who are deaf/hard of hearing; 
• explanation of what can be done meaningfully inside the topic as a teacher of student(s) who are deaf/hard of hearing; 
• demonstration of examples that could be done inside the topics presented;
• suggestions for where to go for additional info or assistance;  

You will ONLY submit the link to your TWU Sway presentation. Do not submit a video file or a presentation file in Canvas. 

TECHNOLOGY: 

All TWU students have a free Office.com and Google account. You can download or use the web-based version of Sway.  

No files need to be submitted for this assignment. Only a link to the timeline needs to be submitted via the assignment link.
