Strategies and resources presented in this training have been specifically developed for use with learners who are deaf and hard-of-hearing to:

  • assist educators in promoting their students' English language acquisition
    and literacy development;
  • encourage English-across-the-curriculum initiatives; and

We have reserved a block of 20 rooms at Virginia Crossings Hotel at the state rate of $94.00/night plus tax and fees. You must make your own reservation by Sept. 24, 2018.
