The document discusses the role and experiences of itinerant deaf educators. It provides insights from a study of 20 master teachers who work itinerantly with deaf and hard of hearing students across different states and environments. The teachers described using technology like spreadsheets and online lessons to help manage their schedules and instruction across multiple locations. They also identified strategies to maximize direct instruction time like planning ahead and engaging students. Additionally, the teachers discussed how to promote student independence through organization, self-esteem, and advocacy. They emphasized the importance of collaboration through clear communication, respect, and support with general educators, families, and others on each child's team.
