Under DUE – Division of Undergraduate EducationDivision of Undergraduate Education One of 14 DUE programs Emphasis on two-year colleges and STEM education Improves technological education at the undergraduate and secondary school levels by: – Producing more technicians to meet workforce demands – Improving the technical skills and content preparation of these technicians as well as that of the educators who prepare/teach them Focuses on education of technicians for high-technology (STEM) fields National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education

To effectively integrate more deaf and hard-of hearing individuals into the workplace in highly skilled technician jobs where these individuals are currently underrepresented and underutilized. Technological Center for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students

Objectives Interacting with and teaching Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) student(s) in your mathematics classes Different effective strategies in teaching mathematics concepts that apply to all students including DHH students Instructor resources to help with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students Who are they? How do we make mathematics more accessible to Deaf students? What do you (teachers, administrators, tutors, etc.) believe would make mathematics more accessible and lead students into STEM?

Universal Design Strategies and resources that benefit not only Deaf and Hard of Hearing students but all students.
