Want to Become a Teacher of the Deaf?
Project DEED FROM TEXAS WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY Can Train Teachers of the
Deaf Completely Over the Internet and is Looking for Qualified
Individuals to Fund!
The Texas Woman's University, Department of Communicative Sciences and
Disorders, Deaf Education Program is pleased to announce that we are in
our third year of Project DEED, Project Distance Education in the
Education of the Deaf, a grant from the federal government to assist
those who want to become teachers of the deaf. We are especially
interested in supporting men, minorities, disabled, general and special
education teachers, and deaf trainees (even if they are receiving some
support from the vocational rehabilitation agency in their state) from
across the United States. We may be able to fund the tuition and books
of those who are already certified in a teaching area, have a high GPA,
sign proficiently, and are able to take all required courses for deaf
education certification in a distance education (DE) format. We will
fund a cadre of 8 well-qualified individuals in the TWU teacher
preparation program for teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Those
who do not receive our funding are welcome to take courses from us as
well whether for certification, a masters, or advancement pay.
If you have any questions please send inquiries to
deafdl@mail.twu.edu. We
encourage you to read through our application materials carefully, and
complete all sections, so that we can best determine if you qualify for
grant support. Those interested can apply at any time--the next group of
trainees will be chosen in the spring, 2009. Please share this
information with any newsletters, organizations, programs, or
individuals.
