VCTL Symposium a huge success
The Office of the Chief Bilingual Officer hosted a Visual-Centric Teaching and Learning Symposium April 12-13. Over 200 people attended, some from schools and programs for deaf and hard of hearing students across the country. This symposium was the culminating event of a three-year, $800,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The opening ceremony on Wednesday evening featured a demonstration of Proto Epic, a three-dimensional, holographic platform for delivery of instruction in American Sign Language. Thursday’s program included three concurrent sessions, addressing visually-centric syllabi; making bilingual and culturally responsive accessibility the norm; and using interactive theater to practice bilingual, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approaches in the classroom.Read the technical.ly article by Michael Althouse about the VCTL symposium.Top Photo Credit: Neha Balachandran
