PRE-COLLEGE OUTREACH (continued)
The teachers received technical training on course content and teaching methodologies and on improving
access for deaf students in mainstream classrooms. Both teachers and counselors received training on
IT career opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and on the dual-credit program.
Outcomes. The program has been considered an impressive success since original predictions were that
only 65 to 85 students would have qualified for and completed a dual-credit course at their high school by
the end of the project. Instead, 109 students have earned dual credit, with an estimated 100 more
students attempting dual-credit courses during the next year.
It was also predicted that a total of 20 teachers and 10 counselors would attend the professional
development activities at NTID during the project, while instead there have been 26 teachers and 15
counselors involved in the project.
