Deaf Education Teacher Preparation Mission Statement

TWU’s Deaf Education Teacher Preparation Program prepares diverse teachers of the Deaf in response to current needs in the field.  Graduate students are educated with practice-based coursework focusing on communication, language and content information for students who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing.  We seek to prepare highly-qualified practitioners in the field of deaf education nationwide by equipping future teachers with broad knowledge and skills for promoting strong social, linguistic, and academic outcomes among students who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing.

Texas Woman's University has the longest-standing program for preparing teachers of the deaf in Texas. Training teachers of students who are Deaf / Hard of Hearing since 1950, and online since 2005, the program prepares teachers to work with total communication, oral / aural, and bilingual educational programs nationally.
