Dr. Claudia Pagliaro, Welcome to Michigan!
Dr. Harold Johnson, a recent hire from Kent State University to chair the Deaf Education program at Michigan State University, invited Dr. Claudia Pagliaro to oversee the programming while Dr. Johnson focuses on grant writing.
Dr. Pagliaro's educational background:
- Ph.D., Deaf Education, Gallaudet University, 1996
- M.Ed., Education of the Hearing Impaired, Boston University, 1987
- B.S., Magna Cum Laude, Deaf Studies, Boston University, 1985
According to a source, Dr. Pagliaro has received training in ASL/English Bilingual Education pedagogy from CAEBER (Center for ASL/English Bilingual Education and Research). If this is true, then it is a great news for us! Hopefully, she will be a positive agent of change at MSU- pushing for ASL/English Bilingual program to take place of the unproven and misused educational philosophy, Total Communication.
Everybody, please give Dr. Pagliaro a warm welcome to our beautiful state!
Saw it through BLOGS listing. I remember meeting you at MSD a few months ago.
Hope this Dr. Pagliaro works with us, the deafies... not about us, the deafies... Dr. Stewart was kinda of off the edge, and yet he was deaf.
Anyway, are you familiar with DeafRead.com? Your blog can connect to DeafRead.com, and get more readers to your blog, if this is what you were wanting for? I love this DeafRead, and it is my world right now. I have seen my friends thru vidoes (VLOG) there, too, and it is AWESOME! Just for your information.
Your blog sounds cool. Take care, Kathleen Tripp (Comment this)
Thanks for the welcome! I came across it while surfing the 'net for Deaf-related organizations, associations, educational programs, etc. in Michigan - information for myself (new to MI) and for my students (new to the field). I do hope that I can be an asset to the Deaf community here in Michigan. Dr. Johnson and I will co-direct the MSU program and are committed to making it one of the top teacher preparation programs in Deaf Education in the country. I welcome the opportunity to work with the local Deaf community and look forward to meeting as many of you as I can. If any of you would like information on our program (we'd love to have more students!) or would like more information about me, please email me at pagliaro@msu.edu. See you around! Claudia Pagliaro :) (Comment this)
