CAEDHH Journal/La Revue ACESM, v23 n2-3 p78-94 1997
A statewide survey of 64 public school teachers of deaf students found that, consistent with earlier research, teachers had inadequate knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL) and the role that the deaf community plays in the education of deaf children. Recommendations for preservice/inservice teacher training in ASL and current issues, such as the Bilingual/Bicultural (Bi-Bi) perspective, are offered. (DB)
