#SPED638 Self-care is vital for teachers, walking, working out, reading, taking a hot bath, leaving work at work.... I wish I lived closer to CSUN to visit the Wellness Center and to get Acupuncture! @mboomgard

@SXMTheHighway @lukecombs @MarenMorris @tobykeith @FLAGALine @billyraycyrus @BrooksAndDunn @bigandrich @zacbrownband @DierksBentley @gw27 How about not talking about the stupid list while a song is playing!

A7: as users and instructors we need continue to bring awareness to the official recognition and standardization of sign languages and need to get our students and our parents involved in the fight #deafed #sped567

[Amy June Rowley @AmyJune]

Q7: How can users and instructors of sign languages from across the globe continue the fight for official recognition and standardization of sign languages? #DeafEd

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

A6: Hearing individuals, need to be qualified to teach #ASL just like any Spanish teacher would need to be #deafed #sped567

[Amy June Rowley @AmyJune]

Q6: Currently many hearing people teach #ASL as a heritage language to our #DDBDDHH students and as a second language to hearing students. What does this mean for #ASL? #DeafEd

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

A5: By adopting the new #asl standards, every student and every classroom would look/sound similar. Just like if you walked into any GenEd classroom around the country, the students would be working toward meeting the same standards. #deafed #sped567

[Amy June Rowley @AmyJune]

Q5: What are some of the reasons for a bigger push towards adopting the new #ASL Standards? What would implementation look like? #DeafEd

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

A3: Parents being told to not sign with their children after CIs or receiving hearing aids #DEAFED #sped567

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

A2: It is a fine line. #deafed teachers especially need to make sure that they are not using sim com in their classrooms but that they use each language separately. #sped567

[Amy June Rowley @AmyJune]

Q2: Are current practices of using sign languages in #DeafEd acceptable (can be in America or elsewhere)? Why or why not?

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

A1: I do not know much about it...yet. But, I will be trained on True + Way American Sign Language curriculum, that I believe is something in the #DEAFED world #sped567

Hello! I am Ellie Woodward an @csunorthridge #deafed credential student! I work for @SB_CitySchools as the Teacher of the Deaf for the preschool and kinder class!

[Sarah @sarahlovesears]

@malbeckford Along with this, we need to be telling parents that language isn’t just important for communication: it’s important for brain development and impacts multiple areas of functioning. Parents don’t know this if someone doesn’t tell them, and we are qualified to do that! #DeafEd

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

@malbeckford A5: #deafed AuD have just as much of a voice in the IEP meeting as any other member! #sped567

[Mr. Val Rinehart @Mr_ValRinehart]

@malbeckford A3: In our class, we are learning the teacher's "mindset" which can easily be applied to AuD. Are AuD checking in on their mindset on what they think a child' needs are vs. what is most important to the child in how they accesses information? #DeafEd

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

@malbeckford A4: @daisynordugo is right! This is a good start. But its also important for AuD to remember that we are all a team and want to see the children succeed and to collaborate with the team members regarding services, goals, and placement #deafed #sped567

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

@malbeckford A2: An educational AuD should work with the not only the child but the teachers. they are there to offer support regarding equipment and classroom acoustics. #deafed #sped567

[Ellie Woodward @EllWoodward323]

@malbeckford A1: I believe the current role of the audiologist in #DEAFED is to be an active team member in the IEPs and support not only parents and kids but the teachers in #deafed #sped567
