Description
This study involves direct observation of the classrooms of award-winning teachers teaching science to Deaf students. The study includes: (1) teaching styles of these teachers, (2) their relationships with students, (3) how they solve instructional problems, (4) what sets outstanding teachers teaching science to Deaf students apart from their colleagues, including their love of learning, problem-solving skills, and a radar-like 6th sense that scans and interprets the learning environment. The study highlights the common characteristics, philosophies, teaching methods, and behaviors that have helped these teachers of deaf students win teaching awards and recognition for teaching excellence in their schools.
