LEADERS SUMMIT
Morris J Wosk, Centre for Dialogue.
Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, B.C. Canada
Sunday July 18th 2010
On July 18th 2010, the eve of the 21st International Congress on Education of the Deaf, world leaders are invited to come together in Vancouver for a full day of dialogue on current issues and future directions concerning the education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.
Recent advances in detection, early intervention, technology and the diverse needs of our students have brought us to the cusp of change in our field and we need now to apply all that we know about how Deaf and Hard of Hearing students learn to the design and delivery of innovative programming.
Through a series of facilitated sessions, invited participants representing the world’s leading universities, colleges, schools and institutions serving the Deaf will focus on selected topics pertinent to our profession and to those we serve.
The Wosk Centre is a perfect setting for a meaningful dialogue on the changes and challenges we are facing, and the opportunity to bring together world leaders for such deliberations is rare indeed. The program will run from 8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. with lunch and refreshment breaks providing a great opportunity to meet and network. Watch the ICED website for full details on program and registration. Space is limited to 150 participants.
