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.

The Entrepreneur Leadership Training Program, a collaboration
between GLI and the National Deaf Business Institute, has been
developed as a model for the delivery of professional programs
for deaf entrepreneurs and business organizations. By increasing
awareness of opportunities and knowledge of business practice,
the program will lead to increased opportunities for deaf
entrepreneurs. The program is also designed to develop the
leadership potential of deaf business owners and other deaf
professionals, as well as to provide an environment where
participants can learn from other deaf professionals who have
experienced the challenges of establishing and expanding a
business and succeeded. The 11-credit professional studies
program consists of the following courses:
• Management for Entrepreneurs (Summer 2009);

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.
Prerequisites: Completion of a graduate degree in a mental health
profession (counseling, social work, psychology or psychiatry)
