Prior to York, Santos-Ayrault graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Education degree. Being bilingual in French and English, the opportunity to acquire her credentials in English solidified Santos-Ayrault\u2019s decision to attend York University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before pursuing education, she earned a Master of Science and PhD in chemistry from Poitiers University in France. As such, coming to the field of Education was a major shift for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At York, Santos-Ayrault entered a close knit group of 12 peers in a setting she found beneficial to her learning. \u201cWe were really close. We built relationships and networked within the field,\u201d she said. \u201cWe had a small room where our program was housed - our own place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
York\u2019s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher Education program helped prepare Santos-Ayrault for a very niche area within deaf Education. First, she learned how to communicate effectively about deaf and hard of hearing people's needs and provide accommodations. Second, she acquired the competencies needed to be a specialized teacher, including designing a curriculum and engaging students\u2019 diverse learning styles. Finally, she blended her French language skills with her knowledge of hearing loss to support the Francophone deaf and hard of hearing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since graduating in 2013, Santos-Ayrault works with French and Francophone Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students who she described as a minority within a minority. \u201cIn my school board we have about 16,000 students in total and I am servicing about 40-42 students in the whole southern Ontario area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, Santos-Ayrault travels frequently across Ontario. A typical day for her includes driving from her home in Hamilton to a school in the St. Catherines area; the next day to Mississauga and after that \u2013 Barrie or Peterborough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her first year working at a French Language school board, she worked with 20 students and identified new opportunities to serve and support the Francophone Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Initially, she found few resources for DHH students and worked hard to create a lasting legacy of support for this community. \u201cI started from scratch and built everything from the ground up,\u201d Santos-Ayrault said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she worked, Santos-Ayrault\u2019s community continued to support one another. \u201cEight of us are still in contact regularly,\u201d she said. Santos-Ayrault emphasized the importance of creating and maintaining one\u2019s support network as teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. \u201cIt\u2019s important to attend conferences and meet with colleagues,\u201d she said. \u201cIf I am struggling, I make sure I am not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support is also crucial for her students whose needs may not be immediately obvious to teachers. \u201cSome students with hearing loss perform well and become less visible. But they still have needs and require support,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s not noticeable to the teacher and it can become hard to advocate for those students because the teachers think the student is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although she did not expect to become a teacher, Santos-Ayrault is confident she made the right choice. \u201cI am a lifelong learner so I enjoyed being able to learn more about this field that my son brought me into,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
