Cochlear Implant Surgery Workbook for Deaf HOH

By Sign with me TOD

In this product, students will learn about the process of receiving cochlear implants. They can add a picture of themselves to the first page of the booklet. Students will learn or review what steps are needed to receive cochlear implants - a hearing test, going for a scan to determine if cochlear implants would benefit a Deaf individual, going to the hospital to have cochlear implant surgery, a doctor called an otolaryngologist performs cochlear implant surgery, and what happens after surgery, when cochlear implants are turned on and mapped.

Students will review how they can care for their cochlear implants upon receiving them - charging them, putting them in their case when they are not being used, and where they should not go.

Students will be able to draw a picture of themselves wearing their cochlear implant(s). Students can then circle the color of their cochlear implants on the sheets provided. If the color of their cochlear implant is not included in the product, students can color the cochlear implants(s) pictures to show what they look like. At the end of this section, students will complete a fill in the blanks and true/false vocabulary review based on what was covered in the product.

Students will then learn about facts about hearing loss and Deafness - Examples: some people wear one hearing aid, one cochlear implant, two cochlear implants, etc., some people who are Deaf and have cochlear implants may use American Sign Language to communicate, the parts of the ear are reviewed - outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, cochlea, and auditory nerve, and how they work together to help someone hear. Students will label the parts of an ear diagram that is included in this product, identify the differences between hearing aids and cochlear implants, learn the different parts of the internal and external components of cochlear implants and where they are located using a diagram. Students will have the opportunity to again complete a fill in the blanks using a key to review what was learned about hearing aids and cochlear implants, and label a cochlear implant using a key. Students will review how the parts of the cochlear implant work together that allows them to hear. Sound fields and FM systems are also reviewed in this product.

At the end of the product, there are three slides that include the sign language and pictures to help students understand the process that takes place to when having cochlear implant surgery and once surgery has been completed.

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention. It's now opportune to revisit and rediscover the hands-on resources available for classroom use or those that may have been overlooked.

Ron Clark 55 Essential Rules Slides (Canva Copy Link)

The daily focus is on one rule at a time, spanning from Rule 1 to Rule 55. You have the option to print a weekly slide to share with parents or use it as a classroom guide. Additionally, you can download the slide as an image for social media sharing or use it on your smartboard for teaching and modeling each week's rule. Each slide features the corresponding Ron Clark rule accompanied by a relevant picture. The editable slides allow customization to align with your school's preferences, including the option to replace pictures with images of your students exemplifying the rule.

Engaging Top Chef Professional Development Template (Canva Copy Link)

This Canva Template Presentation revolves around the "Top Chef" theme, featuring a teach-off challenge for teachers to showcase their expertise in the focused teaching strategy or best practice emphasized in the professional development. Within a specified time frame, teachers will research the topic, create presentations, and present in front of judges, fostering a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. Similar to the show "Top Chef," this format encourages teachers to learn from each other, gaining insights into diverse strategies for classroom implementation.

Spring Sequence Printable Yoga Cards + Lesson Plans

By Lara Hocheiser

As the winter days wind down and the spring weather approaches, many come out of hibernation. The spring season is often a time for children to play outside, participate in outdoor sports, and just enjoy the feeling of being outside in the fresh air. However, during this warm and bright season, it can also be a time of anxiety for children. Children in the upper elementary and middle school grades typically take standardized testing, which is mandated by the state. The months of April and May can actually be quite daunting for some students, which is why this spring yoga sequence is such a great addition to children’s routine. In teaching students yoga poses and breathing techniques, not only can they learn something new but they can also learn techniques that can help ease their stress and anxiety, especially when it may come to test taking. 

In our Educator’s edition, we provide 3 easy-to-follow curriculums for teachers, parents, and anyone else that works with children. Each curriculum is for a specific age group: young kids, kids and tweens.

The Spring Sequence + Curriculum is a 27 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card. 

Includes:

  • Printable yoga deck to learn 5 yoga poses
  • Full-page spring sequence yoga poster
  • Three lesson plans to educate yogis (split into 3 age-groups)
  • Three spring crafts with printables to get creativity flowing
  • Printable journal to reflect on your practice

Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!

Made for educators, parents, and anyone doing yoga with children!
Includes three specially designed yoga lesson plans that can be taught to kids ages 2-7, 7-11, and 11+.
