Deaf Culture
The Deaf community is very small in comparison to the hearing community. This is why it has become a cultural norm to take a deeper interest in fellow members of the Deaf community. For example, if a Deaf person is late to class they would take the time to explain their reasoning but in the same situation, a hearing person would shamefully take their seat.
End of Lab:
- Sign or show Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate their confidence
- (Use thumbs up/ thumbs down or have them rate 1-5 on how they feel after the activity)
- Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future labs!
