Education Of The Deaf/HH At TC

✨Check out our amazing alumni! ✨ Yiru Chen (Class of 2021) holds an MA in the Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing from TC and is currently teaching at St. Francis de Sales School for the Deaf in Brooklyn, New York. Yiru reflects on the program as transformative in expanding her understanding of deaf education beyond pedagogy, reframing it as an inquiry into access, identity, and justice. This perspective sharpened her teaching and deepened her critical awareness of language deprivation, systemic barriers, and the role of educators as advocates. Her experience continues to shape her practice, particularly in centering Deaf perspectives and designing learning environments where students are fully seen and empowered. 🔗Link in bio to learn more!
