  1. American School for the Deaf 195 years of educating Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students Established in 1817

  2. American School for the DeafHistory • First School for the deaf and hearing impaired in the United States • Idea for Deaf School born from desire of Dr. Mason Cogswell to educate his deaf daughter Alice. • Started in 1817 by Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. • Foundations of school came from the Abbe Sicord school in Paris.

  3. American School for the Deaf History When Gallaudet went to Europe before going to the Abbe Sicad school , The Braidwood family who originally from Scotland operated a school for the deaf in London. The only way they would share the knowledge they had unless they were receiving monetary compensation for each deaf student they taught us the Braidwood method. Gallaudet was able to bring Clerc back with him on the return trip to help establish the American School and on this fifty five day journey Clerc, was able to teach Gallaudet the language of signs and Clerc learned English from Gallaudet. School will be celebrating its 200th Anniversary in 2017.

  4. American School for the DeafMission / Philosophy References: American School for the Deaf. (2011) Vision, Mission & Philosophy. Retrieved from http://www.asd-1817.org • “Mission - The American School for the Deaf serves the deaf and hard of hearing community as a multifaceted innovative institution dedicated to the development of intellect and the enhancement of quality of life, producing educated and self-directed citizens.” (American School for the Deaf , 2011) • “Philosophy - Founded in 1817, the American School for the Deaf was the first permanent school for the deaf in the United States and a nationally renowned leader in providing comprehensive educational, programs and services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. “ (American School for the Deaf , 2011) • “The School’s total communication philosophy embraces English, American Sign Language, the integration of speech, auditory training, reading, writing, and use of assistive devices as essential parts of total education that enables students to achieve true language and communication literacy.” (American School for the Deaf ,2011)

  5. Future of EducationMy Vision 2017 My vision for the future of education as it pertains to the education of deaf and hard of hearing students would include each child possessing a piece of technology that would enhance the learning experience possibly a visual and tactile device that would display or interpret what the teacher is teaching and adapt it to fit needs of every child, all children learn differently, and using a technology such as this would help level the playing field.

  6. The Futuring Toolsof Scanning and Monitoring The tool of scanning is assessing a broad spectrum of technologies to see which one is the proper fit for you educational situation The tool of monitoring is researching, testing and studying the results of implemented technologies to see if they truly are working and are beneficial to the educational environment.

  7. Using Trends to Promote Change in Education Using trends allows for collection of collaborative data to support new technologies identified from using futuring tools. Trends can also aid in discovering technologies that may have never been considered before. Trends provide statistical data that can help school systems make better informed decisions about which technologies to invest time and funds into.

  8. Public Policy and Budgeting Individuals with Disabilities Education Act(IDEA) is a change in public policy that mandated the full funding of Special Education programs in public schools. It was signed into law in 2004. Acquiring and implementing assistive technology takes careful and budgeting to make certain there is proper funding to purchase, install, and support the new technology. This means identifying and understanding all potential sources of revenue.

  9. Public Policy and Budgeting Integrating a classroom using technology will succeed or fail by the funds available within the schools budget and will determine whether or not the technology would be available for the students. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was a law passed in 2004 that made federal funding for special education mandatory

  10. Making the Vision Happen Implementing a budget Researching the technology Training teachers on how to use the technology Parent Involvement Support from teachers and administrators
