Schools that serve hearing-impaired students must exercise special care in selecting textbooks to support classroom instruction. This article outlines the procedures developed and used at Kendall Demonstration Elementary School at Gallaudet University to evaluate and select a social studies textbook series. These procedures should apply to other subjects as well, and are offered as a resource model for other schools. Specific suggestions are made for every step in the process, including conducting a needs assessment, locating potential materials, defining roles of committee members, developing evaluation criteria and more. Emphasis is placed on conducting a comprehensive, manageable, and ultimately effective textbook search that supports the school's curriculum and satisfies the needs of students and teachers.
为听障学生提供教育服务的学校在选择教科书以支持课堂教学时必须格外谨慎。本文概述了加劳德特大学肯德尔示范小学制定并采用的评估和选择社会研究教科书系列的程序。这些程序也应适用于其他学科，并作为其他学校的资源模型提供。针对该过程的每一步都提出了具体建议，包括进行需求评估、查找潜在教材、明确委员会成员的角色、制定评估标准等等。重点是进行全面、可管理且最终有效的教科书搜索，以支持学校课程并满足学生和教师的需求。
