Take The Next Step In Teaching Deaf/HH Learners

Our team recognizes the importance of role models for young deaf and hard of hearing learners. Research shows that role models increase learning motivation when applied to a given field. We’ve taken this to heart, by working with deaf role models in professional careers to create videos showcasing their life experience, the barriers they face, and journeys into their career – all laid out for your learners to absorb.

CSD Learns is committed to ensuring your thriving success as an educator of deaf and hard of hearing students. We’ve been busy creating Teacher’s Toolkits and eLearning courses. Here’s a rundown of what we offer.

Tools for Deaf Education

We have an expanding range of free K-12 STEM and Financial Education Teacher Toolkits featuring deaf role models ready for your instruction needs — online or in the classroom.
