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!
