Conference Theme: Recovering, Reconnecting, Reinventing

February 2-5, 2023

Menger Hotel in San Antonio, TX

How do people connect with each other to recover, reconnect, and reinvent future practices after experiencing many changes in the Deaf Education field? 

It takes critical thinking, social skills, problem solving, collaboration and identifying new pedagogical approaches. These approaches need to be embedded with social justice education and consider the social emotional well-being of our students. 

This is why our conference theme focuses on recovering, reconnecting and reinventing new dialogue. It is imperative for education stakeholders to come together and engage in the dialogue of ideas, methods and innovative approaches. This conference will have three strands: 

• Recovering: Addressing Challenges Facing the Deaf Education Field
• Reconnecting: Focusing on Democratic Education and Social Emotional Collaborative Practices
• Reinventing: Preparing Educators to Teach Now and in the Future
