The Rocky Mountain Deaf school provides a bilingual Deaf http://www.colorado.edu/CDSS/MSD/
Extractions: The Magnet School of the Deaf has been renamed. Our new name is the Rocky Mountain Deaf School. RMDS provides a bilingual education for Deaf Children. Being visually oriented makes English seem like a foreign language for Deaf children. Since American Sign Language is a visual language, it's a Deaf child's natural language. It provides a child with a rich language foundation to think, learn, and play. American Sign Language, or ASL, provides your child access to the word of communication. But teaching your Deaf child English is also important. In addition to being your child's natural language, ASL is a stepping-stone into learning English. Having a solid first language helps English make sense. The Rocky Mountain Deaf School emphasizes access to communication, academics, and English literacy. The Benefits of a charter schoo l The Rocky Mountain Deaf School was developed by parents, the Deaf community, and educational professionals who saw the need for a school that acknowledges a bilingual education as essential to learning. We welcome involvement and input from both Deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Our School Board reflects this philosophy.

They depend on a strong, solid construction, quality materials, and support mechanisms. If one spoke on a bicycle wheel breaks, the entire wheel can spring out-of-true, sending the rider into the pavement. ...This complex and interdependent system requires a comprehensive design plan. Such a plan starts with the clear and commonly understood beliefs about education and learning. An effective plan also addresses critical, if seemingly mundane, matters such as governance, administration, budgets, finance and similar matters. In order to get your planning process started, we have provided a comprehensive list of school design elements that will need to be addressed (found at the end of this section). This list also provides space for you to indicate when work in a certain area will be completed and by whom. The list is long and covers a wide range of topics. Just remember the reason you wanted to start a school - your educational vision - and that there is a lot information available to assist you as you work through the list. There is one planning grant available through the Walton Family Foundation based in Colorado. For more information on this grant, see the
