This study will present the results of a reliability and fairness evaluation of the Teacher Work Sample (TWS), a performance assessment for preservice teachers, used at one university. The TWS is a high-stakes assessment and, as such, issues of fairness and reliability are critical, particularly when trying to promote increased diversity in the teacher workforce. Dimensions of ethnicity, gender, and hearing status are reviewed as part of this study.

There is minimal research regarding deaf student athletes who play sports for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) institutions. Thus, little is known about the experiences of deaf student athletes. This qualitative case study seeks to explore the experiences of a select group of deaf student athletes who attend Gallaudet University, the world's only university designed specifically for deaf and hard of hearing people. Potential findings from this study will contribute to the limited literature and provide stakeholders with a better understanding of this specific population of NCAA student athletes.

This collaborative study with a school for the deaf will investigate the impact of the use of a bilingual approach in writing instruction on the writing performance of deaf students. The study will provide information on the value of students using their first language, American Sign Language to discuss their writing during peer and teacher conferences. This research will provide information to educators of the deaf on the use of a bilingual approach in the writing instruction of deaf students. Results of this study will be significant for teacher preparation programs that prepare teachers for the deaf on the value of using a bilingual approach to teach writing. Participants will include seventeen 3rd grade students and their teachers from a school for the deaf with a bilingual philosophy in deaf education. Students will participate in the peer and teacher conferences during the writing process in their regular language arts classroom. Writing samples will be scored by two raters. All students will be interviewed on their value and perception of their writing. Interview data will be analyzed using the grounded theory approach. A focus group will be held with the teachers to determine their perceptions of their students' writing performance.

There is a disconnect between the number of students who enter college and the number who graduate. Research demonstrates that a high percentage of deaf students enter postsecondary education; however few persist to graduation. The question we are left with is how to identify the barriers preventing deaf students from graduating at the same rate as their hearing counterparts. The study will interview first-year deaf college students in order to understand their perspectives regarding their transition to college. Moreover, the study will examine how they describe preparedness and resolve perceived challenges.
