EDU 218 DHH: Supporting Teen Transitions
This course examines the specific linguistic, cognitive, social emotional needs of teens and young adults who are deaf or hard of hearing and to identify ways to connect subject matter to experiences that include positive deaf role models. A focus is on individual student’s need to engage in their educational plan and communicate proficiently in their language(s) of choice. This seminar course will prepare students to utilize a variety of assessment tools to develop IEP and ITP goals so as to differentiate instruction for learners enabling teen and young adult learners to access the core curriculum and develop appropriate post-secondary plans to include ongoing opportunities for safe, meaningful social interactions between language model peers and adults who are deaf as appropriate to each student’s identity. This course requires 10 hours of field work.
