Topics include a number of key factors in the BSL classroom:

• types of BSL environments• pedagogical considerations• group dynamics• creating and adapting activities• common logistical challenges• optimal space design• technology selection, training, and support

This practical guide will be of use to teachers, technology staff, and program administrators, all working together to implement successful BSL programs and ensure quality learning opportunities for every student.
