When attending summer classes, it is important to remember that high school-level courses are different from elementary classes. Class expectations, pace of learning, class size, testing, as well as a student’s relationship with teachers, staff and sign language interpreters, may be quite different from what s/he is accustomed to. The goal is to accept the changes and develop strategies for success.

Mr. Dayrit giving an opening remarks of how our mainstreamed school is now the choice of many Deaf students

Description:

   The training hopes to produce a creative interaction between teachers and SLIs regarding the instructional accessibility of a sample lesson wherein most Deaf students have difficulty learning. The training is ideal for consultation approach between teachers and SLIs ensuring that difficult subject concepts are conveyed appropriately. As an educational unit, working in isolation prevents us from exploring other means of providing the best educational opportunity for our students. It is also hoped that this session will not end after the allotted time frame and will become a continuous means of collaboration between SLIs and teachers of how an ideal mainstreamed school should be.
