NTID and national science foundation team for june conference

Abstract

An emerging research area among those who study education of deaf students—looking at how students' educational backgrounds and cognitive skills account for what they know, their learning strategies, and ways that instructors can optimize educational opportunities for them—will be the topic of a June 21-22 conference at Rochester Institute of Technology hosted by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf's new Center for Education Research Partnerships. The conference is co-sponsored by Oxford University Press and is supported by a $149,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
