About the store
Hello! My name is Alex Roman. I am a teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH). I have taught all ages from 3-21 and all grade levels. I spent two years as an itinerant teacher before becoming a classroom teacher. I taught middle school students (self-contained and resource) with hearing loss in grades 6-8 for 5 years, tried elementary students teaching a kindergarten through 5th grade Deaf and hard of hearing classroom, the majority of whom were also ELLs, and now I'm living my dream, teaching secondary students again, grades 5-12th grade ELA at a school for the Deaf! I have over 15 years of experience teaching students with hearing loss and more than 20 years of simultaneous experience working with English Language Learners.
In addition to Deaf education, I also provide tutoring to English language learners of all ages and homebound services to students with chronic illness.

IB Profile Recognition Awards
Do you teach at an International Baccalaureate school? These mini recognition slips are a great way to encourage and reward your students for demonstrating the IB profiles. Making a point of noticing the profiles in action really helps children solidify how the profiles apply in everyday life.
Great way to encourage good classroom attitude and behavior! You can even have students hand out the awards to their peers when they start noticing the profiles in action on their own.

Teaching style
We use spoken English, American Sign Language, and Cued Speech in my classroom depending on the communication decisions made by each student's IEP team.
My teaching style is heavy on game-based learning and very student led. I also rely on academic conversations to support student language development and content comprehension.
