By showing this incredibly valuable tool to my district’s teachers, I am able to help all of them become more skilled at teaching students with disabilities and more aware of accessibility issues and solutions. #3. The material covered in the school system needed more accessibility than just interpreting… other students had the opportunity to go home and find TV programs, etc, to add to their learning experience. DCMP gave this same opportunity to the deaf students I work with. #5 Besides the above, DCMP videos are additionally helpful for leaving quality sub plans. I can assign videos to my classes and create related assignments with the videos as reference. The students are still learning or reviewing content when I am not there and the unit flows without interruption. #6. Many impacted!! DCMP has profoundly improved my interpreting in education!!
