Unity, NOT Uniformity in Deaf Education. Creating a national dialog in deaf ed. that recognizes & respects all philosophical approaches.

I don't care if you have a loud voice. You're going to use the microphone so we don't say to those who cannot hear as well 'your inclusion is not important'

For language sampling to have fidelity, we need to be HONEST about what we are hearing. (We know what they mean, but that does not help us at intervention.) Strategies that Sparkle: Supporting LSL in the Classroom- Lynn W. Miskiel & Kathleen C. Vergara #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Could not have summed it up any better! @j_trussell #deafed #FEDHH2019

[Shan Fowler @SFowlerDHH]

My one line summary of @j_trussell's AMAZING keynote: "Model it, model it, model it, and read, read, READ!" #FEDHH2019 #DeafED

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

The more kids read, the more fluent they will become. THEY HAVE TO READ! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

Reading fluency is a "puzzle" for signing kids. Try measuring silent reading fluency or "slash" tests to give you some insight. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

ACTIVATE background knowledge! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

We need to empower students to learn how to read like a content expert! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

It is important for us to ask and clarify with students re: what they mean (#squirrel). Sometimes the connections are not 100% clear, but are there. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

When we give students a strategy or a tool (e.g., graphic organizers), they need to know how and when to use them when you are not there. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

We are great at teaching the strategy, but we are not great at revising the strategy. We need to give students MULTIPLE opportunities to use these strategies and how to pick the appropriate strategies from their "toolbox". - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[Radical Middle (DHH) @RadicalMidDHH]

We have to teach grammar. Grammar has an influence on reading. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

[RMTC-DHH @rmtcdhh]

Tier 2 vocabulary should be our goal for vocabulary instruction - @j_trussell at #FEDHH2019 #DeafEd #DHH #VocabularyInstruction #LivingOnATier
