Putting "What" Before "How"

Abstract

Reviews the book, Deaf Learners; Developments in Curriculum and Instruction by D. Moores and D. Martin (2006). The authors have put together a well respected team of contributors all of whom are very thoughtful people, and it shows through in their writing. However, because much of the collection consists of familiar topics contributed by the authors or former graduate students, it sometimes appears to be a new labeling of existing vintages. Despite these reservations, this is a useful book. It may be short on discussions of language acquisition and classroom communication, but then again, who can argue against the need for a strong focus on the content of the curriculum. This book will have multiple uses: graduate courses, chapters that can be used for in-service training, and as a resource for teachers and administrators in all educational settings.
