Description: Deaf and hard-of-hearing students are entering regular mainstream schools and mainstream society. A knowledge of Sign Language may aid teachers and hearing students in communicating with, and for creating a more friendly environment for, these students. Three teachers, who are neither specialists in Deaf Education nor experts at Sign Language, will introduce the audience to a different language and a different culture and will demonstrate strategies for introducing Sign language into the classroom.
