Professional Development
GURCs provide a variety of different professional development opportunities in partnership with others.
Extension Courses
In partnership with Gallaudet University, the GURCs offer extension courses (as permitted by state regulations) for deaf and hard of hearing people, their families, and the professionals who work with them. The courses provide a unique opportunity to study with recognized experts in such fields as ASL Linguistics, Deaf Studies, Deaf Education and Interpreting. These courses are coordinated through the GURCs, often in collaboration with sponsoring agencies serving deaf and hearing communities. Sponsoring agencies can be schools for deaf students, special education school districts, interpreter training programs, or professional organizations. For more information about these course offerings, contact us at [email protected] or go to Gallaudet Extension Courses website.
Workshops
The GURCs offer workshops related to a variety of topics, some of which are: literacy, family involvement, transition from school to postsecondary education and employment, educational interpreting, mental health, and student development. The GURCs can work with you to plan a workshop or conference that will meet the training needs of your school or agency.
The GURCs also provide coordination of workshops and training opportunities available through the Gallaudet University Burstein Leadership Institute and the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center.
Technical Assistance
The GURCs can offer assistance to schools and programs, and agencies interested in providing workshops, online and extension courses, and specialized training. They also provide information related to the education of deaf and hard of hearing students in their region from preschool through adulthood.
GURC staff members act in an advisory capacity at their host institutions. They are also involved with professional and consumer organizations and serve on advisory boards for agencies and organizations which have an impact on services to deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
We look forward to partnership opportunities that our center could develop with you.
