Thursday, February 21, 2013 7:00-9:00 AM Continental Breakfast – Zuni Sponsored by Sprint Relay & Educational Testing Service 7:30-9:00 AM Poster Presentations – Room: Acoma North & Acoma South 9:15-10:00 AM Keynote Session – Zuni North & Zuni South Introduction by Dr. Sharon Baker, University of Tulsa
The lack of convergence between word and action; research and practice; and perception and reality has long plagued the deaf/hard of hearing child's prospects for a quality humane education and whole person development. Although the original intent of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is timeless, things have evolved over the years to today's increasingly "one size fits all" approach that has been detrimental for this low incidence population. Under the all-encompassing premise of securing quality education for each and every deaf/hard of hearing student, the Child First campaign calls for a return to the original purpose of the federal law and a renewed focus on indispensable bio-ecological and educational principles. Given good teachers are critical shapers of today’s and tomorrow's students, the onus is as great on teachers and teacher trainers as any other group to bring on critical reform on behalf of today’s and tomorrow's deaf children.
