Congratulations to Nadene Eisner for successfully defending her CAS project on Monday, May 14. If you have any interest in literacy among special populations of youth, school library instruction, differentiation, or inclusive learning environments, you will be richly rewarded by reading Nadene’s handbook titled:
Engaging deaf and hard of hearing students in the school library: A handbook for teacher-librarians
It can be accessed at:
http://groups.lis.illinois.edu/k-12program/Eisner_CAS_Project.doc . If you have questions or comments, Nadene can be reached at: deme5678_at_gmail.com .
Project abstract:
Over seventy percent of students who are deaf or hard of hearing will attend a public school and enroll in a classroom with their hearing peers or in a self-contained classroom with other deaf and hard of hearing students. Teacher-librarians who work in these schools can improve their instruction by understanding not only what it means to be deaf or hard of hearing but also how deaf and hard of hearing students learn to read and what challenges they may encounter in the school library classroom. This paper offers practical suggestions and recommendations to help teacher librarians teach within the concept of Universal Design for Learning to make learning accessible for all students, but specifically for students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Committee: Georgeann Burch (director), Carol Tilley, and Kathy Bennett.
