Course Description:

Language deprivation is the lack of language exposure during a child’s age of acquisition which impacts language development, academic success, and cognitive capabilities. Children from marginalized communities are more likely to suffer from language deprivation and less likely to have instructors who share their cultural background. Transformative classrooms require staff to understand their own positionalities and recognize the intersectionalities of their students. To create these spaces, teachers must take a balcony approach to recognize systemic barriers, biases, and deficit thinking that can negatively affect their students. A culturally responsive classroom can be built using approaches that honor each student. Doctoral research centering the lived experiences and recommendations of BIPOC Deaf practitioners of the Deaf anchor this presentation through a critical framework.
