Mr. Hall from New York NY is requesting professional development through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Professional development

Webinars for Teachers of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students

I need professional development in the form of Webinars to strengthen my understanding of the new ELA curriculum and to improve my instruction. The curriculum is specifically for deaf and hard of hearing students.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Spanish, Afrikaans, Arabic, Fulani, Swahili, Chinese, English, Creole, and American Sign Language are just a few of the languages our students exposed to on a daily basis--both in the home and at school. My students, who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, are in a self-contained total communication program located in the Bronx, NY. We simultaneously use various forms of communication in our room to fit the needs of each learner. My students are very hard working compassionate kids with a love of learning and experiencing new things first hand. They are all incredibly intelligent and intuitive, but lack of language exposure and oftentimes lack of resources contribute to their lack of understanding and access to grade-appropriate instruction. For this very reason, literacy instruction is key to their success and eventual language acquisition.

My Project

I'm requesting funding for 10 webinars with the Bedrock Literacy Developer for our small group of teachers and paraprofessionals in the 2018-2019 school year. This past year we were able to begin implementing Bedrock (a literacy program specifically made for Deaf and Hard of hearing learners) and we have seen a big improvement in their language, writing, reading fluency, and English Grammar. We look forward to continuing the wonderful work we've started this past year, but we need guidance and Professional Development to be efficient and maximize on time. With Dr. Di Perri's guidance, we will be much more confident and prepared to help our student's literacy achievement grow.
