Patricia Carney, "I am doing traditional student teaching at the Alaska School for the Deaf in Anchorage, Alaska. I am working with a 3rd - 5th grade teacher and our classroom is both self-contained (for language arts) and used as more of a resource room for other content areas to support our students. I am very grateful of this opportunity to learn from an experienced teacher and connect with the Alaskan Deaf community!"

COMING FROM TOP 5 STATES
Samantha Kiser, "I am currently teaching 2nd grade at The Learning Center for the Deaf in Massachusetts with an incredible and experienced team consisting of another head teacher and an aid. We have seven magnificent students and teach hands-on, engaging, student-centered lessons in the areas of L.A, Math, Science, Social Studies, Enrichment (team building), Deaf studies, and Health. Although being a first year teacher has it's challenges, I am thriving and surviving all thanks to the continuing support and guidance from my wonderful professors in the Department of Ed! I not only feel prepared for this new journey, but also confident that I can take what I have learned from the Department of Ed and implement it into my own classroom. Ultimately, it has been simply amazing to see my students learn and grow every day. Go Galloping Ghosts!"

Dr. Maribel Garate, Professor and Department Chair, Department of Education
Danielle Thompson-Ochoa, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Department of Counseling, returned to her native island of Trinidad and Tobago, with a Teacher of the Deaf from Arkansas, Ms. Shannon Winter, to work with local teachers at Cascade School for the Deaf (North Trinidad), Audrey Jeffers School for the Deaf (South Trinidad), University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) faculty, Dr. Paulson Skerritt, and University of West Indies (UWI) faculty, Dr. Benjamin Braithwaite. The focus of the trip is to re-develop curriculums focused on closing the achievement gaps for Deaf and Hard of Hearing primary school aged children on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and to re-establish a career-transition program for post-secondary Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals in Trinidad and Tobago. A strategic five-year goal has been agreed upon and Dr. Thompson-Ochoa will continue to be one of the leaders in assisting with implementing changes. (Above is a photo of Dr. Thompson-Ochoa conducting a group counseling session with students at Cascade School for the Deaf, North Trinidad)
