Research CAEBER (Center for ASL/English Bilingual
Education and Research). How could you incorporate some of these techniques
into your classroom?
I think that the
focus on proficiency in ASL and English could be really beneficial for my
future students. Of course, the goals of
the student and the family should be a huge factor in what is taught and how,
but (for those who are interested) I would love to incorporate some CAEBER
techniques. ASL is the language of the
Deaf community and I think it is important that the D/HH students learn
it. I know a few D/HH people who grew up
taught orally (some with signed English support) in public schools and, now
that they are in college, these students wish they had an ASL background and
are now attempting to immerse themselves in Deaf culture. I think that incorporating knowledge and use
of ASL would be a great idea. I
especially think Deaf history and is important to teach—I want my students to
be proud of who they are and confident, but I think they need the background
knowledge of other Deaf individuals, as well as Deaf role models. It also seems that English is a large focus
in the CAEBER program, which it should be with all deaf students.
