Job Description

Job Description
Occupational therapists, special education teachers, and speech therapists, your skills are needed to close the gap for Deaf students in Kenya.
The government of Kenya wishes to expand its Education for the Deaf (E4D) project into secondary schools for the Deaf, where students perform below average in math and science. This low performance is directly attributed to the teachers' lack of Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) vocabulary for teaching math and science subjects, inadequate knowledge on strategies to teach abstract concepts, and resources that are not adapted for Deaf learners. The assessment methods used are meant for hearing learners, with little to no accommodation. Deaf learners also lack experiential learning opportunities.
As a Deaf Education Specialist, you will develop signs that can be used for math and science instruction. Along with local teachers, you will incorporate technology, art, and illustrations to help explain abstract scientific concepts.
