Professional Project

Catalog description

The Professional Project is an independent continuation of skills and concepts introduced in DHHE 630 (Introduction to Research in DHHE). By the end of the course, students will design and create a product that will serve as a new resource for teachers of the deaf as they work toward solving problems and reducing barriers in the field. Independent research will showcase a special issue or problem in Deaf Education. Students will draw from their knowledge and experiences accumulated during their preparation through the program, exploration of existing research, and field experience. These research reviews and final products will contribute to a resource library for all programs in the COE. Students will also place a copy of their research project and developed materials in their teaching portfolio at the end of the program.
