The Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans (MNCDHH) and the Minnesota Department of Education co-sponsored remote participation in two National Summits on Deaf Education in 2009 and 2010. The summits were focused on improved outcomes for deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing students, partnerships, and collaboration. Summit participants asked the MNCDHH to convene a Minnesota summit in 2011 to develop a data-driven statewide, deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing education improvement plan with specific, measurable, and timely outcomes. This article describes the tenets they produced to guide all of the goals, objectives, and outcomes developed for this plan.
