How will you use what you have learned today?
I now know to have more patience when dealing with an HI pupil because
of 'visual noise'.
With deaf pupils who come for work experience to SCoD.
Give school new ideas to solve issues.
Deaf awareness.
I will carry what I have learnt back to the teacher and classroom, put
as much as I can into practice.
Pass on information to colleagues who work with the child to benefit
her learning more.
Will use it to great use in classroom situation.
I hope I can use what I have learned daily to help enhance my deaf child’s
understanding of the world.
I feel I learned a lot today which will help me understand the pupils
I am working with better. I have learned what to look out for and
that the pupils will need a rest now and then.
Try to be more aware of the visual surroundings, visual noise.
Pass on information to SfL department at the school I work for.
It's good to get more information and good to hear other people's
feedback on the information given.
I will be aware of visual noise and recruitment which I was not aware
of before. I will be contacting Crosshouse regarding getting FM
only as an option.
I need to look at the whole environment that we are using to educate
in and not try to make him sit for at an hour!

What was best about the course/event?
Mary Whittaker - good to get the experiences of a deaf person, not having
things explained second-hand.
Finding out about education from the perspective of a deaf child.
The speakers were very informative.
Learning deaf awareness from a deaf person.
Being shown how to use hearing aids.
Deaf awareness.
Information received was very relevant to my working situation. Layout
of course and delivery was very good.
Listening to Mary Whittaker which was very informative.
Meeting and talking to others working in the same field.
Learning from a deaf person's point of view has increased my awareness
of things NOT to do eg; wear stripy tops! And use too much
language.
I enjoyed this morning and learning about what could affect the pupils
in the class. I feel I have a better understanding of them now.
Mary was excellent and very informative.
General awareness of being a child with HI - coming from a deaf adult's
personal experience.
Understanding more of what deaf pupils have to cope with.
It was all enjoyable and all well laid out.
Really enjoyed hearing that what I'm doing is definitely on the
right tracks.
I learned a great deal from all aspects of deaf awareness by Mary - highlighted
many areas for me to consider.
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
Second presenter could be a little less technical, third presenter needs
to reduce information on slides.
More icebreakers, tasks etc instead of sitting all day. Being shown
some BSL.
More about deaf awareness.
A little more time spent on technology of hearing aids and radio aids.
Maybe longer.
Any other comments regarding the course?
All aspects of the course where very well-presented.
If the Auditory Awareness was in the morning as the information to take
in is huge.
Sorry I had to leave early. I found the course very interesting
and helpful. Also soup was delicious.
The speakers were individually good and gave a good amount of information
in handouts and talks.
