Flagler College Professor of Education Carl Williams

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (09/19/2014)(readMedia)-- Flagler College Professor of Education Carl Williams was recently published in Odyssey, a magazine tailored to educators and professionals who work with deaf children and their families.

Williams' article, "Expecting the Best: The Essential Lesson for Teachers," discusses ways that teacher educators can better prepare future teachers to plan in ways that will provide deaf students opportunities to engage in higher order thinking and to access rigorous academic standards.

"I have always believed that deaf students learn more successfully when they are taught by teachers who not only hold college degrees but also who hold high expectations for them," said Williams. "So when Odyssey announced that its 2014 issue would be devoted to the theme of high expectations for deaf students, I knew right away that I wanted to offer my thoughts on the topic."

The college offers 29 majors, 34 minors and two pre-professional programs - the largest being business administration, communication, psychology and education. Small by intent, Flagler College has an enrollment of about 2,500 students, as well as a satellite campus at Tallahassee Community College in Tallahassee, Fla. U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review regularly feature Flagler as a college that offers quality education at a relatively low cost. A Flagler education is less than half the cost of similar private colleges, and competitive with many state universities. A relatively young institution (founded in 1968), Flagler College is also noted for its historic beauty. The centerpiece of the campus is the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, a grand resort built in 1888 by Henry M. Flagler, an industrialist, railroad pioneer and co-founder of Standard Oil. The Ponce has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. For more on Flagler College, visit www.flagler.edu.
