Inquiries
Complete your Inquiry by researching information to your questions and providing answers to each of the questions based upon your research below.
Question #1 How can you accommodate deaf students in the classroom? -
Use more visual aids whenever possible, face them while talking at a steady pace, so they have a chance of understanding. Try and have an interpreter there and have ready-
made notes for them to go over. Learn some of the basics of ASL so you can try to communicate. Citations:

Question #2 Which is better a deaf school or a public school?
-
There is no straight answer to this question. Both are great for different reasons. Public school helps give them exposure to the hearing world while at a deaf school, there are more people like them, and sign language is the main form of communication. Citations:

Part 02
Add responses to five other inquiries below:
Topic: Providing a Quality Educational Experience
Student Name: Scott Barney Summary (3–5 sentences)
Students from lower-income neighborhoods have a harder time in school. Because they don’t
have the resources that other students have for example a parent at home to help them, a safe environment to work in because of the area, and the disadvantage they have of not having the same upbringing as others might have gotten. Because they usually have one parent who is always working to provide basic needs, doesn’t have time or energy to help their child learn, and doesn’t hold them accountable for doing homework, so they don’t learn
anything. We need to understand that everyone is at different knowledge levels so as teachers we would need to spend one on one time to help them catch up with the rest instead of letting them get lost and giving up on them without even trying. Topic: Down Syndrome Student Name: Saylor Jeppesen Summary (3–5 sentences)
To make them feel like they belong we should treat them the same as we treat everyone else. If we treat them differently that will make them feel like an outcast. When helping them
be positive and go their pace sometimes we go too fast and they struggle to keep up. They are smart in their own way and that’s okay. They don’t need to be smart like others to fit in. ED 200: Teaching as a Profession
Topic: I
mpoverished (public schools and students)
Student Name: Rachel Mumford
Summary (3–5 sentences)
Impoverished schools can be funded well enough when it is distributed wisely. Keyword wisely. Often times schools just focus on one area and forget the rest which creates disadvantages for students in the other areas. Impoverished students can succeed in school as long as they work hard for it. A good way for them to succeed is to ask their teachers for help and for tips on studying or other ways to learn. Topic:
Supporting autistic children in public school systems
Student Name: Kambria Eldredge Summary (3–5 sentences)
There are many pros and cons for autistic children in public school for everyone learns differently and it depends on whether the teacher is willing to put forth the effort to help them learn. They often struggle to fit in because they see and do things differently than others which can cause others to bully them for being different. It’s important to make them feel included and loved so they feel safe in the environment. Topic: How do English teachers help Kids with disability and who cannot speak English? Student Name: Madelynn Zembas Summary (3–5 sentences)
As a teacher, you can highlight the objectives and create a positive learning environment to help students with disabilities. You could also make a space for them for when they are overwhelmed and find ways to help them focus. If a student doesn’t know English you can use visual aids and repeat questions while giving them time to understand it. You can also tutor them outside of class. ED 200: Teaching as a Profession
