2017 issue - What's Trending in Student Success
This year we celebrate 200 years of deaf education in the United States! The 2017 issue of Odyssey takes a look at how deaf and hard of hearing students are achieving success both in the classroom and throughout life. Supporting the whole child, keeping expectations high, and looking not only at test scores and literacy but also at whether children are growing and thriving are all important factors in determining student success. This issue includes 18 articles written by a total of 24 professional and parent authors on such topics as:
- early literacy and supporting emerging ASL skills at home and in the classroom
- respecting diverse cultures and offering accessibility to families
- cochlear implant support for students
- Camp Invention ASL, offering inclusion and making learning about science fun
- deafblindness from the perspective of a parent
- working with deaf and hard of hearing refugees and immigrants
- the impact of learning to dance
- the importance of family involvement
- empowering students through giving them ownership of their learning
- personal and parent stories of student success
We invite you to share your own success stories with us on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtags of #ClercCenter and #DeafEd!
