\n\tFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTexas School for the Deaf Announces
\n\tCollection of “Deaf Smith” Educational Resources<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAustin, Texas – January 6, 2014  – The Educational Resource Center on Deafness (ERCOD) at Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) proudly announces the Deaf Smith Collection – an educational series that includes lesson plans, videos, and resources focusing on Erastus "Deaf" Smith – famous spy, scout and soldier of the Texas Revolution. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first unit, available now, includes lesson plans, performances, publications, and other materials introducing learners to Deaf Smith, featuring the 1985 stage play “Deaf Smith, The Great Texian Scout”. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis comprehensive collection was developed by Dr. Steve Baldwin who is an avid Deaf Smith enthusiast, author, and retired educator from TSD. In 2013, Baldwin was recognized by the Texas Governor’s Committee on People Disabilities with a Barbara Jordan Media Award (BJMA) for his exhibit at the Texas capitol which celebrated the 225th birthday of Deaf Smith in 2012.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“We expect that this collection will be a valuable learning tool for high school and middle school students-both deaf and hearing”, says Baldwin, “also to those learning American Sign Language, for interpreter training programs, and others in schools and programs interested in learning more about Deaf Smith and his contributions to Texas history”. \n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Deaf Smith’s contributions”, adds Baldwin, “underscore the fact that people with disabilities played a vital role in making Texas what it is today.”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe full Deaf Smith Collection is free and available to the public and on the ERCOD website. To learn more, visit: http:\/\/Info.TexasDHHResources.org\/DeafSmith<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
