Presentation Info

A hallmark of the CEASD community is the high degree of collegiality and peer-to-peer learning among educational leaders. The CEASD Conference will feature dynamic 45 minute sessions and roundtable sessions during the conference. We strive to ensure that all presentations are relevant to state, private, independent or charter schools that works with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. We also are committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion and ask that all presentation submissions take those same principles in consideration including images, terminology, concepts, and representation in both content and presenters.
What format will your presentation be?

Audience type and focus:
