Welcome to the TPD Web Site
 The
Office of Training and Professional Development (TPD) coordinates the
training and technical assistance that the Gallaudet
University Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education
Center sponsors throughout the nation. It also coordinates internal
professional development and ASL instruction for teachers and staff within
the Clerc Center, and visits to the Clerc Center by educators and other
professionals.
The priorities for activities coordinated through TPD are the national
mission priorities-family
involvement, literacy, and transition.
In addition, TPD provides support to identified priorities within Kendall
Demonstration Elementary School (KDES) and the Model
Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD), such as authentic assessment,
community building , integrated
curriculum, and multi-level student groupings, among others. In addition,
TPD publishes a monthly internal newsletter that serves as a vehicle for
information sharing and keeps Clerc Center teachers and staff informed
of new developments and resources related to the priority areas.
