Clarke School for the Deaf: A Sound Future

The video below is a video that showcases the Clarke School for the Deaf. I thought that this video was unique and interesting and also very fitting for our class, because we have recently covered Early Intervention and the Family studies of deaf children. This video has examples of that as well as it talks about English Acquistion and teaching Deaf students to speak and listen which we are now covering in class. The video also shows technology used in the classroom such as an FM system, it shows children with hearing aids and cochlear implants as well. I personally think this is a great showcase of the Oral method of teaching. I hope you enjoy!

  3. I have visited Clarke. Have a friend who taught there most of his career. Have other firends who sent their children there. It's a phenomenal school. I actually thought about going there to teach at one point in my career ;-)!
