Interdisciplinary Deaf Education Teacher Preparation Program

The federal government has awarded California State University, Northridge $1.25 million over the course of five years to train teachers who are uniquely equipped to work collaboratively with parents and others to ensure deaf students get the best education possible.

The grant, from the Office of Special Education Programs in the U.S. Department of Education, is for CSUN’s new Interdisciplinary Deaf Education Teacher Preparation Program (IDEP). The program will develop a team that will include members of the Deaf community, parents, interpreters, paraeducators and related service professionals to help prepare teachers to more effectively impact their deaf students.

2014 E-Text Initiative
Hopefully ready for Fall 2014, Mallorie Evans and I are preparing an iBook for our course SPED 563-Audiology and Spoken Language for Teachers of the Deaf. The book will be available free to candidates enrolled in the course.

MyCSUNtablet
In Fall 2014 SPED 406 will be an iPad class. I recently participated in a four-day myCSUNtablet Academy for faculty integrating iPads into their courses.
