Addendum to Posting - Schedule Charts

Some charts for your reading pleasure. The Gantt chart - I could not fit to a page, but hopefully you can see what I am trying to do. I feel that perhaps its a bit more detailed than most but I think it's beneficial for me because we are usually spending time with generational families, etc. Am not able to get these attached to my blog for some reason....go to my weebly site for the attachments (Gantt, network diagram and schedule)

Week 7 Blog Prompt

Week 7 Blog Prompt: Put up in your blog something you're writing as part of your work and include two questions you want peers/teacher to focus their attention on.

I'm in the midst of tweaking my schedule and will post the Gantt chart by Thursday once I can figure out this issue in MS Project. In the meantime, in terms of questions I would like peers/teachers to focus their attention on with my application is:

1. Is it clear the need for workshops such as this, how it will serve educators? If so, what can I do to further make this more appealing?
2. Do you understand the challenges that are before school districts to ensure educators serve students with hearing loss adequately and non-district sponsored and unbiased workshops such as these will benefit these educators? 

I think these two questions are two big challenges I have to demonstrate in my application -- to "grab" the funder's heart, so to speak, and make them see the benefits of such workshops.

Week 6 Blog Prompt



Week 6 Blog Prompt: "let's tackle #2, on p. 150, as our blog prompt for next week: write your first paragraph."

The Oberkotter Foundation has established a reputation for working with various organizations to help prepare professionals to effectively teach and support listening and spoken language. The Foundation’s support and activities have resulted in increasing opportunities for children with hearing losses to learn to listen and talk, and provided parents and professionals with tools to help these children. With your past support of awareness activities and emphasis on building networks of professionals, I am writing to inform you of an awareness project which the Texas Chapter of the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is working to implement in the state of Texas. The project involves building networks of professionals in various education settings so that they may provide and support listening and spoken language, in addition to usual communication options.
