Very interesting and that has make me eyes open to help more in Deaf children for their improvement as i done my Gr R Diploma in NWU, Study in NWU is more about teach to child, not for Deaf children so that here Educating Deaf Children course to Becoming an Empowered Teacher are more detail to how teach and help in Deaf children. Love this course and i am busy to ask other educators who is involve in deaf schools to come also do this course.

I am Deaf as well and teacher in Deaf school :-)

Thank you all the lectures to encourage us to help in Deaf child to make more aware how to right to help in Deaf children... best team.

This course was holistic, thorough and concise. It was just what I needed to keep me focused and motivated during this period. I am driven and inspired to get back to work. Thank you so much.

This was such an insightful coarse and would suggest more Teachers and Teacher Assistance take this coarse. There is some tips and tricks that I am going to apply in my day to day practice.

Really enjoying this!

The course was amazing! I learned so much about becoming more empowered, I'm encouraged to go to another level. The curriculum is very easy to understand. Thank you to Odette and Tara for an amazing job in facilitating this course. I am recommending this course. Great job!!

I found the course to be engaging, informative and well set out. It was easy to navigate through each weeks topics, and the lecturers were all very knowledgeable.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone working with, or acquainted with, a deaf child.

I wish I had known this all before I started teaching many years ago.It is definitely the course to do if you are teaching Special Needs Education and particularly if you have children that have hearing difficulties.

This course is clear, interesting and very educational when working with deaf children or as a parent, to understand the concepts and overcome difficulties together. I recommend it.

Great course, I liked the pace and delivery. Would recommend to new and current teachers as well as anyone who works in institutions where they interact with Deaf children,

This course has been a great source of information for me. I highly recommend this to one and all, specially to the teachers out there.

Thank you for this course on Deaf Ed. Very simple, basic, and fundamental. I hope you can make more courses on Deaf Ed. Thank you!

this course taught me so much about hearing impaired people, who are classified as deaf or hard hearing people

It was such an experience learning about the some of the experiences and challenges of the deaf community in such a real way, as well as the roles, challenges but in it also the vast array of opportunities teachers and potential, aspiring teachers like me have in all of this. The content was awesome and seem very relevant and up to date, especially the great suggested reading materials which I loved as much as the course content itself. I learned very basic sign language during that farce of a Covid period to keep myself and my daughter busy and we both loved it. Now after this course, the next step is SASL for a formal and more recognized course to help further along in my journey to learn to sign, hopefully become an interpreter and later teacher for the for community, and an ambassador for them as well if possible.

The Coursera course "Educating Deaf Children: Becoming an Empowered Teacher" provided tools and knowledge to effectively support deaf students. It also ensured that participants understand that Deaf students should receive a quality education tailored to their needs. Moreover, it empowered me to continue growing as an educator and to become an advocate for inclusivity and accessibility in the nation’s schools. The opportunity to learn about the importance of continuous professional development and the positive impact it can have on teachers, students, and other stakeholders should continue through courses such as this.

The course was very interesting and provided me with lots of new knowledge about the topic! I enjoyed getting actual, practical things to work and think about instead of just theoritical things. It also motivated me to learn my country's sign language and work towards learning more about the deaf community and how to teach such children. The only "drawback" was that there were 1-2 links from the reading resources that didn't work... Apart from that, I think that the University of Cape Town has great courses about such a topic. I would love to take one-or more-again! Thanks for everything!

Educating deaf people through this course is one of the noble tasks and training to become empowered educators for deaf people. From this couse we can learn how to be deaf and what communication is learned in order to interact with other creatures. From the teacher's point of view, this course provides education on how to become a teacher for the deaf, of course, by applying the training, approaches, and components learned in this course.

The course and the contents of the course are awesome. You got to give it time to understand it precisely. Do not rush on the topics, try to engage with them emotionally and you will benefit a lot.

My total experience and perspective has changed and I am getting more positive thoughts in my mind.

All the best to TEDI team and Coursera for such a wonderful online platform for learning important things.

Its full of knowledgeable course to learn about deaf children and teaching. I found that how beautifully this course design, many things i already knew and learnt in my master degree but love to read and learn again. Highly recommend to all if u really want to know about special Ability students(HIC).

This is an absolute amazing course which I recommend to everyone who loves to break through communication barriers. The knowledge gained in understanding the Deaf culture and so much more, is worth every minute spent. You will not be disappointed!

this course has given me a vision and understanding the ability one can achieve with or without any drawback with in us. be a teacher or be a learner

thank you mentors who enhanced his course for our better understanding I really appreciated that

It was a superb refresher course embedded with new ideas and technology on empowering the deaf teacher, we keep learning because learning has no end, and knowledge is power. I have been highly empowered as a deaf educator. Thank you so much.

A great course, I really liked the approach they give, also you can learn about South African education and if you pay attention, you can also learn a few words in South African Sign Language.

I'm grateful that I was afforded this opportunity. I plan to work toward using the information and strategies I've learned during this course, to be better, and help others.

I have learnt a lots from this course. I learnt how to make deaf learners comfortable in class. I learnt new skills and approach of helping deaf children .

Loved the course. Helped understanding a lot of things I didn't know about. However, I'd suggest you to put more content about sign language. :)
