Abstract
For teachers of deaf or hard-of-hearing students, knowledge of their students' cultures can serve as an aid in their approach to teaching. A student, particularly one who is deaf or hard of hearing, attending school in a rural community of the United States belongs to or is influenced by at least four cultural groups: (a) family, (b) neighborhood/vicinity, (c) community, and (d) school. To understand the world of each student requires that educators explore the child's uniqueness or “personal culture.” A framework for exploring the personal cultures of rural, deaf or hard of hearing students, strategies for gathering cultural information, and a means for applying the cultural information in curricular adaptations are presented in this article.
