Changing the culture and practice when a school adopts a sign language orientation: A reconstructive longitudinal study on changing the orientation framework at one school
Category Project
Ausgangslage und Ziele
Education models oriented towards sign language are rarely implemented in schooling for the deaf in German-speaking Switzerland, or at least they have not been anchored in the curriculum. There are various practical reasons for this, such as a lack of staff, or inadequate skills in sign language and bilingual teaching methods. This project describes the development of one particular school, the Centre for Hearing and Speech in Münchenbuchsee, towards a professional SL-oriented practice. A previous study described the role played by sign language at this Centre (Framework for Orientation, Bohnsack, 2012). To enable other centres to benefit from advice, this project addresses how to implement this process, ways to build on this development, and what aspects influence, facilitate or even inhibit the process.
