Welcome to the Challenges/Strategies section of the Class Act web site.

Challenges/Strategies?

This is the core of the entire website, a large database of information containing challenges that you may face in working with deaf and/or hard-of-hearing students, and suggested strategies you can follow to address those challenges.

This entire section is organized around the challenges, which we have divided into four categories, each of which is represented by a column of links at the top of this page. Click one of the challenges you face, and you’ll be taken to a page where you’ll find an explanation of that challenge and suggested strategies.

On those pages you’ll also find:

• Links to videotapes, with deaf and hard-of-hearing students or faculty explaining their perspective on the topic.

• Links to “Related Topics” in the database.

• A link that will allow you to “Critique this page” to let us know your opinion of the usefulness of the information on that particular page.

Your feedback to us is particularly important, and we encourage you to provide critiques as you work your way through challenges you face, and the strategies the database provides.
