Odette Swift speaks to the very experienced Cindy Rutter who doubles as teacher and principal of Dominican School for Deaf Children in Cape Town. With many years of deaf education experience and lots of insights in teaching deaf children, Cindy shares a plethora of strategies that teachers can use to empower themselves. From carrying out intense diary teaching focusing on language acquisition, conducting research, observing more experienced colleagues, to team and group teaching, Cindy impressively offers teachers an array of strategies to add to their repertoires and carries on with the themes of collaboration highlighted earlier on by Judy and Jabaar. She encourages teachers to interact with the Deaf Community, and advises that teachers continue to learn all the time and never give up! This is video lecture 7/8 of week 4 of the course: Educating Deaf Children: Becoming an Empowered Teacher.
