Becoming a Teacher Leader in Reading
(ECI 508: Teachers as Leaders)
Compelling Question: What are ways to support deaf and hard of hearing students in developing their literacy and language?
Answer: Be human! This course turned my world upside down. After researching, analyzing, creating, and applying, I entered Teachers as Leader and relearned one of the more important things of all: be human! Within the realm of education, there is a certain standard of decorum that teachers must have among their colleagues, students, and administrators. If this decorum is executed appropriately it can be transformational in the way we provide instructions. In regards to literacy learning for deaf students, how I carry myself as a teacher and a leader are pivotal and have a reciprocal relationship into the success of my students. My attitude and actions affect others. Above all, they affect my students and I must remain cognizant of the potential I have in influencing others for change on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing students.
