Students vary greatly in communication style, academic level, science background, and aspirations and motivation in science.
Some students have special physical needs while others have specific areas of learning disabilites.
We establish the same goals for all students and then modify our teaching style according to the student's needs. O ur goal is to develop scientifically literate students who as adults will be able to apply and integrate the methods and knowledge of science and technolgoy to everyday life and to the problems of society. With this perspective, we define the concept of literacy to include literacy in the areas of reading, writing, and math, as well as scientific and technological literacy. Our projects are designed to take into consideration the diverse needs of deaf and hard of hearing students across the nation, with special attention to the Pre-College National Mission Programs priority areas of literacy, family education and transition.
