The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is explicit in its mandate that students who receive special education services have opportunities to be involved in and progress in the general education curriculum. Teachers providing instruction to students who are deaf or hard of hearing are expected to comply with this federal mandate. To determine if teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing throughout the state of Georgia felt adequately prepared to educate this population, a statewide needs assessment survey was conducted. Questionnaires were reviewed from 110 experienced teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing. More that half of the teachers who responded judged their teacher preparation program to be appropriate. Specific suggestions for modifications to teacher preparation programs are provided.
《残疾人教育法》明确规定，接受特殊教育服务的学生有机会参与普通教育课程并在其中取得进步。为失聪或听力障碍学生提供教学的教师应遵守这一联邦规定。为了确定佐治亚州各地为失聪或听力障碍学生授课的教师是否觉得自己为教育这类学生准备充分，开展了一项全州范围的需求评估调查。对110位有经验的失聪或听力障碍学生教师填写的问卷进行了审查。超过一半做出回应的教师认为他们的师资培训项目是合适的。文中还提供了对师资培训项目进行改进的具体建议。
