Deaf Education and other things

Well, here I am in Vancouver!! Thanks to sponsors. Just completed first day which was the leaders' forum. This is the first time that I have been at a conference which had a dialogue opportunity. I didn't open my mouth which is unusual for me but I thought that the opportunity was great! It did occur to me that what I am going to propose in my presentation around Ka Hikitia has close ties to Deaf Ed in general. Of course when you think about it although it is a stategy aimed specifically at improving outcomes for Maori the thinking applies directly across to the Deaf community and further to all students!!!!
