Pre-service Education

  1. I am teaching a methods course specifically to "Deaf Education" majors who will likely end up teaching math and science. How can I best use the information in the COMETS website to prepare my students?

  2. I am teaching a general methods course in
    science/mathematics education but I would like to give my students some lessons so that they would be sensitive to the needs of deaf learners. Do you have any suggestions for how to use the COMETS website materials for such a course as I am teaching?

 

In-service Education

  1. The science/math teachers in my school are required to attend professional development workshops/activities in order to be re-certified by the state. How can I use the information on the COMETS website in working toward that goal?

 

High School Students

  1. I am interested in science as a possible career. How can I best prepare for college?

  2. I am interested in going to college to major in something related to science or mathematics or computers. Do you have any advice?

 

Deaf College Students

  1. I am a deaf college student. My professors don’t seem to understand how to make their courses accessible to me. What can I do?

  2. I am writing a paper for one of my courses. Do you have any references to suggest related to math/science education for deaf students?

  3. Do you have any information about deaf people and their contributions in science, math, medicine, engineering, or invention?
