Presentation
Growth patterns and distance learning tips for students who are deaf and hard of hearing webinar
October 2020
Description
In this webinar, Dr. Stephanie Cawthon and colleagues share new research following the academic growth trajectories of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) from grades 2-8. The data show that growth over time tells a different story than studies limited to growth within a year, with students continuing to grow and acquire literacy skills well into middle school. In the second presentation, Jessica Meissner, the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at the Rochester School for the Deaf, shares tips for supporting students who are DHH in distance learning.

Typical learning for whom? Guidelines for selecting benchmarks to calculate months of learning
To describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students, researchers have translated test scores into months of learning to claim how many months/years students are behind in school. Despite its perceived accessibility, there are major downsides to this translation. To inform future uses by researchers and media, we discuss in this brief how to calculate this metric as well as its trade-offs.
