Itinerant Teachers

Itinerant teachers travel from school to school in their district and provide additional assistance for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students on a weekly basis.

According to John Luckner in Deaf Learners: Developments in Curriculum and Instruction, " Itinerant teachers may better identify with one of the following definitions. An itinerant is a teacher who
                1. has stains all over his or her clothes from driving with one hand and eating with the other and
                2. knows the first names of more secretaries and custodians than the personnel director of the                           school district" (Moores & Martin 2006).

Introduction

Hi friends!

We are two Deaf Education majors in college and we decided to make this blog to compare the effects of itinerant teachers/ classroom environments and inclusion classroom environments on the achievement of the Deaf students in these classrooms.
