Part Three: Instructional Considerations Across the Curriculum provides suggestions and guidelines for assessing and planning programs for deaf students using meaningful contexts; optimizing the academic performance of deaf students with emphasis on access and opportunities; implementing a cognitive strategy that encourages teaching for and about thinking as an overriding principle; establishing instructional and practical communication in the classroom, especially in relation to ASL and English-based signing; and solving old problems with new strategies, including Web-based technologies, resources, and applications. The lessons of these assembled scholars coalesce in the Part Four: Summary as a general recommendation for ongoing adaptability, a fitting capstone to this extraordinary volume of work.

As Deaf Studies emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as a field of academic study and inquiry, the importance of Deaf Studies in education became an area of interest among thought leaders of the time. Deaf Studies for Educators is a collection of papers from a 1991 conference convened to explore Deaf Studies as a framework for teaching and learning. American Sign Language literature and poetry, bilingual and bicultural programs, arts and history, and deaf identity are several of the topics covered. This collection captures how educators understood early on the benefits of a curriculum that was more fully inclusive and reflective of deaf culture and deaf experiences. A foreword by Onudeah D. Nicolarakis contextualizes the work for modern audiences.
