Dual Language Immersion Program Creates a Language-Rich Environment for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Rob Hammel
Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, v24 p40-43 2024
In October 2023, a new deaf student, "Zuri," showed up in my second grade classroom. This often happens. Parents move into and out of the district for work, and it is common to get a new student in the middle of the year without warning. Zuri's eyes were wide when she came into the classroom, and she looked scared. Who were all these hearing children, and what were they doing? Who were these hearing adults, and what were they saying? Was she doing the right thing? She froze.
