Itinerant Teachers of Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing:

The book "Itinerant Teachers of Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing" offers a comprehensive qualitative study of the beliefs and teaching practices of itinerant educators who teach deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students in general education settings. Given the increasing number of DHH students being educated in regular classrooms since 1977, it is crucial to understand the specific challenges and approaches these educators employ. The study highlights the discrepancy between teachers' beliefs about the development of reading and writing skills and the practices they actually implement. Through insights from five itinerant teachers and their 15 DHH students, a valuable picture of current teaching methods and the associated paradigm shifts in the training of educators for DHH students is presented. This book is aimed at educators, parents, administrators, and qualitative researchers engaged in the education of DHH students.
