More and more schools and programs serving students who 

are deaf, hard of hearing, and/or who have cochlear implants 

recognize the importance of providing students with the 

opportunity to use both ASL and English for academic instruction 

to help students achieve bilingual proficiency. Given the 

growing acceptance of these bilingual programs nationwide, 

there is a critical need to develop and implement an effective 

language planning model that will increase capacity of schools 

and programs to successfully engage students in this type of 

bilingual learning environment. This intensive five-day seminar 

series is designed for school and program leadership teams (e.g., 

superintendents, principals, directors of instructional services, 

supervisors, master teachers, and curriculum specialists) and 

provides participants with a conceptual basis for designing and 

implementing bilingual program models for second language and 

deaf/hard of hearing learners. 


Participants will take a more global view of theoretical perspectives 

on bilingual education and language and literacy research, 

through planning and structuring the school-wide learning environment. 

Specifically, participants will learn about: a) effective 

school-based language planning, b) essential features of bilingual 

education program models, c) research-based information concerning 

the development of language (oracy and signacy abilities) 

and literacy (reading & writing), and d) implementation of effective 

professional development. The seminars and group activities 

are designed to help participants become more reflective about 

their schools’ language planning and professional development 

plan.

Eye Movement Integration is a therapeutic technique that is effective 

in treating phobias, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and negative 

or self-limiting thoughts. It is one of many developments of the 

Neuro- Linguistic Programming Movement of the late 1970’s, and 

is modeled after the work of Robert Dilts, and Steve and Connierae 

Andreas. This course will provide instruction in the theory of eye 

movement therapies, as well as demonstration and practice in the 

uses of EMI in clinical settings. This course includes face-to-face 

lecture, demonstration, and practice. Successful completion of this 

course will lead to certification as a practitioner of Eye Movement 

Integration.

This course will analyze the Individual with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA) and how it applies to the language, 

communication, and educational needs of deaf and hard of 

hearing students. Whether one has been in special education for 

20 years or only just beginning, IDEA is a complex law with very 

specific and also very vague mandates. It has been described by 

numerous courts as a “paradoxical” law in which the two central 

requirements—“free appropriate public education [FAPE]” and 

“least restrictive environment [LRE]” are at odds with each other 

even as they both serve to protect the rights of the students. 

Additionally, the IDEA can be both a boon and bane for deaf and 

hard of hearing students, and is a law that requires careful 

analysis.

Clemson University’s Olweus Bullying Prevention Program 

directors will be conducting a Training of Trainers (TOT) for 

highly qualified professionals who would like to become a 

certified Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) trainer. 

The OBPP is a multi-level, multi-component school-based 

program designed to prevent or reduce bullying in elementary, 

middle, and junior high schools. In order to be certified, 

participants must provide training and consultation to assist at 

least two schools with implementation of the OBPP. However 

participants can become a non-certified trainer if they prefer to 

implement the program at one school. Training expectations 

include: 

• Participation in the initial 3-day TOT (TOT Part 1) 

• Participation in a 2-day follow up training (TOT Part II) 

approximately 9-12 months later 

• Participation in regular phone consultation with an OBPP 

Technical Assistance Consultant (approximately 1 hour per 

month for the first 12 months, 30 minutes per month for the 

next 6 months)

The program revolves around self-expressive 

activities using written and signed languages. English and ASL 

are the primary languages, but participants are exposed to other 

written and signed languages according to their interests. The core 

of the program is the development of a presentation by each student 

group, telling their stories through music interpretation, mime, 

dance, and the visual arts. Students will practice various performing 

arts techniques and skills, and will develop the script as well. 

Knowledge of sign language is NOT required. Classes in performing 

arts, memoir/scriptwriting, team building, and personal discovery 

will be augmented by typical summer camp activities such as low 

ropes, swimming, boating, crafts, and team sports.

Housing Information 



ho W to aP P ly fo r ho u s i n g 

Students who live in the dorms must fill out the Guest Housing/Meal 

Plan application in this catalog. Applications must be received by the 

College of Professional Studies and Outreach by the course registration 

deadline. Availability of housing is not guaranteed for late applicants. 

All resident students must abide by residence hall rules and 

regulations; violations of these rules will result in immediate expulsion. 

A copy of the rules and regulations will be provided at check-in.

For students arriving on Sunday, you may pick up your registration 

materials (ID/Meal/Dorm Access card, class schedule, etc.) at the Hall 

Memorial Building Atrium between 12 – 6 pm the Sunday before your 

class starts. Sign language orientation and screening will be held from 

2 – 5pm the Sunday preceding the start of session A, B or C for students 

in ASL classes. 

If you are staying on campus and arrive after 6 pm, the front gate 

guards will direct you to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). DPS 

staff will give you your check-in packet and direct you to your dorm 

where residence staff will assist you. You may also pick up your packet 

on Monday morning in HMB S141. 

If you are staying off campus, you may check in on Sunday or the 

morning before your class begins in the Hall Memorial Building, Room 

S141.

You must check-out of the residence hall by noon on the day after the 

end of your program. Prior to your departure, you are responsible for 

clearing your room and emptying all trash. Turn in your room key and 

Access Card to the Residence Assistant on duty in the residence hall 

where you are staying. If you do not return your room key or Access 

Card, you will be charged $75 for each item.

and vending supplies. These cards may be purchased at the Department

you must contact Verizon (202) 346-1000 (V) or (800) 564-0999 (tty).

telephone, etc., if desired. 

ro o m fe e 

Room assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Students may choose between single or double occupancy. Due to the 

limited number of single rooms available, there is no guarantee that a 

request for a single room will be honored. If you do not make a selection 

on the housing form, you will be placed in a double occupancy room. 

Occasionally, people request and pay for a double room and are never 

assigned a roommate. These “luck of the draw,” people are not required 

to pay the single room rate.

or high school graduates, may request individual dormitory housing (no 

exceptions). No family housing is available.

International students interested in coming to the United States and taking 

courses at Gallaudet University must complete this VISA Information Form. 

The completed form must accompany your registration materials. A B-1/B-2 

Tourist Visa that is annotated for a short course of study allows you to visit 

the USA and participate in a course, workshop, or other training event while 

you are here. If, however, you are interested in attending Gallaudet University 

to obtain a degree or certification, you must have an F-1, J-1 or permanent 

residency status. 

Due to the time constraints in processing I-20s or DS-2019s, applications 

must be received in our office before April 28, 2009. If you already have an F-1, 

J-1 or permanent residency status, we must have your application at least 3 

weeks prior to the start of your class. It is important to note that payment must 

be sent in full (international money order payable to Gallaudet University or by 

wire transfer) before an I-20 or DS-2019 can be processed. If you already have

Date: ___________________ 

a Visa or a green card, you must submit a copy with your application. 

The Visa Waiver Program (WVP) allows citizenship of some countries to 

travel to the U.S. for business or pleasure for up to 90 days without obtaining 

a B-1/B-2 visa stamp. You must ensure that your WVP is annotated for a 

short course of study if you plan on participating in a short course, workshop 

or training. 

A confirmation letter will be sent to you upon approval of your application. 

The letter is your proof of enrollment. If you do not receive a letter in response 

to your application, contact the College of Professional Studies and Outreach 

at 202.448.7272 or email summer@gallaudet.edu. Once you arrive on 

campus, you must stop by the Center for International Programs and Services, 

located in the Hall Memorial Building (HMB) E254, prior to attending class. 

Only individuals arriving at Gallaudet University with the proper student visa will 

be allowed to attend classes and/or stay on campus. 

This form should be completed by all non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. permanent 

residents and included with your course application/registration materials. 

In order to issue the I-20 Certificate of Eligibility or DS-2019, students must: 

- be accepted to Gallaudet University as a matriculated (degree-seeking) or non-degree student. 

- submit proof of financial ability.

Section III: Section III: Student’s Acknowledgement of Understanding 

A non immigrant B-1 or B-2 visitor or F-2 dependent is prohibited by U.S. law from pursuing “a course of study” before obtaining a change of status 

to F-1 student. A course of study is considered to be a focused program of classes, leading to a degree or certification. A single, short-term class 

that is not the primary purpose of the visitor’s presence in the United States, would not constitute “a course of study.” 

If you have a B-1, B-2, or F-2 visa, you acknowledge that you are not seeking to obtain a degree or certification and that it would be a violation 

of your non immigrant status to begin a course of study, and that you are fully responsible for complying with the terms of your non immigrant 

status. 

Please sign below to acknowledge that you have read the above statement and that the information you have provided in this document is correct
