December invites us to slow down, show up with intention, and recognize the quiet gifts that shape lasting impact, and this month’s edition of The Community Quill does just that. Centered on presence, knowledge, and generational legacy, the December issue reflects how meaningful change is built through small, consistent moments of care, learning, and advocacy.
From timely field updates to practical classroom strategies and family-centered resources, this issue continues to strengthen our shared mission: building knowledge and strengthening community.
Here’s a look at what you’ll find inside:
📰 Breaking News – Critical updates on proposed federal changes impacting IDEA, along with advocacy tools and resources from the National Association of the Deaf to help families and professionals take informed action.
💡 Spotlight on Strategies – A playful, movement-based Snowball Vocabulary Toss activity designed to boost engagement, vocabulary retention, and access for Deaf and Hard of Hearing learners.
📚 In the Field - Updates & Insights – Progress along the Educator Series road trip, details about the upcoming Power of Play workshop with Dr. Jenna Voss, and information about the Spring EIPA Cohort led by veteran mentor Susie Spainhour.
❄️ Chill & Cheer – A winter-inspired collection of classroom-ready and family-friendly resources, from ASL stories and seasonal signs to crafts, coloring pages, and literacy activities designed to keep learning joyful and connected.
As we close out the year, we’re grateful for a community that continues to show up with curiosity, compassion, and commitment. Whether you’re a parent, educator, interpreter, or advocate, your presence matters, and the knowledge you share carries forward in ways that ripple far beyond the season.
