The Star School staff of the Engaged Learners project at the New
Mexico School for the Deaf in Santa Fe has completed its fourth
year of a 5-year federally-funded program. This project aims to
improve language-teaching practices of teachers who work with
learners who are deaf by providing training in current bilingual
theories and pedagogical techniques, including Engaged Learning
practices, through a convergence of Internet, Web, and distance
learning technologies. The project promotes proficiency in American
Sign Language (ASL) and English for all students based on the
belief that bilingualism enhances cognitive, social, and linguistic
growth. This publication describes the projects fourth year
activities and the overall project impact. Information is provided
on: (1) participating teachers and mentors; (2) training materials;
(3) teachers experimentation with ASL/English bilingual assessment
for students with deafness and teachers written reflections on the
training; (3) teachers utilization of technology while using ASL
and English; (4) plans to refine and revise the staff development
model in the projects fifth year; and (6) the establishment of the
Center for ASL/English Bilingual Education and Research. More than
163 teachers and over 500 students participated during the first 4
years of the project.
