The field known as "deaf education" has undergone considerable change over the past 30 years. Educating Deaf Students: From Researc h to Practice considers what we know, what we do not know, and what we should know about the education of deaf students. Using a research-based but readable approach, the authors set aside the politics, rhetoric, and confusion that often accompany such discussions. Rather, the educational and research literatures are evaluated with an eye toward systemic inquiry and generality of findings. The result is a summary of the current state-of-theart in deaf education and related implications for parents, teachers, and other "gatekeepers."
