Steps for Success: Scope & Sequence of Skills This is a digital product!
Steps to Success is newly revised and an even more awesome resource than the first edition! It is a ‘must have’ for all new teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing and a ‘where have you been all my years of teaching’ resource for veteran teachers. Stretching from the students with the greatest needs to those who ‘look okay’ but have insidious challenges, the scope and sequence of the instructional goals from basic through advances can be immediately applied to any student with hearing loss.

Comments on the newly revised Steps to Success:
In looking over the revised Steps to Success, I like that there are more examples available, and the assessments seem more relevant. I like how she breaks it down into exactly what the students should know at each level. I did a lot of searching for materials with the older version (of course, the guidelines were there) so it just seems like it will be easier to use right out of the gate. I look forward to seeing the new version when available. Teacher of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Virginia
Comments on the original Steps to Success
- “Very applicable for teachers of all ages with ready to use activities and materials.”
- “The explanation of the listening skills and the reason why our kids need the practice was wonderful! You have completed what most of us wish we had time to do! Thanks for all your hard work.”
- “An awesome resource that I wish I had had as a Resource teacher and now as an itinerant.”
- “The materials are extremely useful and can be immediately implemented. Well organized.”
- “This is a guide I wish I had had my first year as a DHH itinerant teacher. It is jammed packed with materials to support goals in an organized and practical way. Steps to Success is now my new bible out in the field.”
- “I’ve been using Building Skills for Success and love the materials but it is rather overwhelming. When I came across Steps for Success it was like a whole new window into how to implement what was in Building Skills. The two work together, hand in glove, and provide a clear road map of what I need to be doing with my students on a daily basis.”
