NCOD Information

CSUN's National Center on Deafness provides the following Q. & A. for university faculty and staff members to better serve the university's deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

Q: What are some guidelines for instructors who have deaf or hard-of-hearing students in their classes?

A:The following points come from the Teacher Tip Sheet (prepared by the Northeast Technical Assistance Center at the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York):

Repeat or rephrase questions or comments from the class before responding.
Face the class and speak naturally at a moderate pace.
. Avoid the temptation to pick-up the pace when time is short.
Do not lecture while writing on the blackboard.
Write announcements and assignments on the blackboard.
Write proper names, technical vocabulary, formulas, equations, and foreign terms on the blackboard.
Help find seating near the front, if requested by the deaf or hard-of-hearing student.
Encourage open communication from a student with a hearing loss about your teaching style.

Our Deepest Sympathy

The campus extends its deepest sympathy to Joel Athey (English) and his family on the loss of his brother.
