Description
Increasingly, education requires that interventions be evidence-based. When I found this book by leaders in our field, Pat Spencer and Marc Marschark, I was thrilled to see the research base boiled down into very understandable nuggets that teachers can share with administrators and use to guide their practice. I especially love the 5-page Key Findings Index that is in the front of the book that provides ‘sound bite’ summaries of the research findings. This book is a MUST for every DHH program and should be on the shelf of every administrator who oversees programmatic and individual decisions for students with hearing loss. Karen Anderson, Director “If you really want to add fuel to the fire, read this book. It has taught me information about the differences in learning between typically hearing and students with hearing loss I would have never even imagined existed! In my opinion, it is or at least should be a “Must Read” for all educators (audiologists and DHH teachers) working with students with hearing loss. Very, very eye-opening and has helped us formulate our arguments about why we do things the way we do them (based on our years of experience in working with Deaf/Hard of Hearing learners) when administrators, principals, teachers do not believe us or try to tell us to conform to what works well for other (non-DHH) special education students.” MN educational audiologist Evidence-Based Practice in Educating Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students- A critical review of research, theory, and practice in deaf education
