I thought, "This is great!" But then I started thinking of the jobs that interest me. One of them is a dog groomer. I mean, just write down what you want and I'll do it. Problem? I need school. I'm afraid the Pa...

Schools for the Deaf do not have to educate deaf students
Deaf Special Needs This is a true schools for the deaf have never had to teach any deaf student. They have had to demonstrate that they have a curriculum but the success of failure of any deaf student did not prevent them from receiving accredidation from CEASD. CEASD only wants to see that the schools are fiscally sound not educationally sound.In fact, to date, there is not a liter...

JTC Week 1 Day 4
Miss Kat's Deaf journey Today was an interesting day. I have been a little concerned because Miss Kat is in a class with all (but one) VERY beginning learners. Two have been adopted in the last year and the last has no language at all. None of them respond to their names or have any receptive or expressive language. They are not even able to understand environmental noises yet. The kids are ...

Ebonics and ASL Are Here to Stay
Kalalau's Korner A discussion vlog: Carl Schroeer explains how African-American people denied the Oakland School Board's decision to recognize Ebonics as a valid linguistic system in 1996. Ebonics was not in a dictionary, they said. There exists striking similarities between rejecting Ebonics and denying American Sign Language: hostile criticism, misinformation, and avoidance.

OMG! Text Talk and Metalinguistic Awareness
Reading Right Side Up According to my literacy dictionary, the definition of metalinguistic awareness is “a conscious awareness on the part of a language user of language as an object in itself.”  Metalinguistic awareness is somewhat related to metacognition, which is thinking about thinking.  Therefore, it is knowing when and how to use thinking strategies in order to learn [...]

Becoming an Advocate
The CI Circle News Quite possibly one of the hardest things for me to swallow through our first year of becoming parents to deaf children was the average civilian’s lack of knowledge.
