Language Acquisition and Language Learning: Educators Checklist

Designed for individual or team use, this resource helps educators evaluate current practices and identify opportunities to strengthen language access in Deaf education settings. Topics include early language exposure, visually accessible classrooms, immersive language experiences, and integrating explicit instruction with natural language development. The checklist reinforces research-informed practices that support ASL, English, and Deaf cultural access while encouraging reflection and goal setting within educational programs.
