Quill Model

This Labor Day, we celebrate the dedication, passion, and purpose of the professionals who make a difference every day. 🤍

To the educators, interpreters, language professionals, and advocates who continue to learn, grow, collaborate, and create greater access for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students—thank you for the work you do and the impact you make.

Wishing our Quill Model community a restful and meaningful Labor Day!

Deaf Education has been shaped by generations of Deaf individuals, families, educators, advocates, and professionals who challenged limitations, advanced access, and created new possibilities.

Understanding where we’ve been helps us recognize how far we’ve come, learn from the moments that shaped our field, and continue asking an important question:

When we understand our history, we are better equipped to strengthen language access, challenge outdated practices, and thoughtfully shape what comes next.

Language doesn't only happen during instruction. It happens...

📖 while reading together.
🍎 during snack.
🚗 on the drive home.
🎨 during art.
🛒 in the grocery store.

Children build language through meaningful interactions, not isolated lessons.
The best language opportunities are often the ones we never planned.

What's one everyday routine that creates meaningful conversations with your students or children?
