http://www.rit.edu/~seawww/index2.html (Roybal)
This web page supplies a “bridge” between theory and practice (to demonstrate the implications and applications of research) for professionals working with deaf or hard of hearing students. Simultaneously, offering professionals suggestions for illustrating structures, promoting readability, and applying research results. It also helps explain the linguistic challenges confronting English language learners and clarify the language acquisition process. It allows professionals to translate grammatical explanations and theoretical research findings into “everyday” language while giving guided practice (with feedback) in identifying and modifying specific structures for instructional purposes.

An article titled, “Tutoring Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students.” The article is 16 pages long, but it has a lot of good information in it. Some of the topics that are discussed in the article are what tutoring is, what tutoring provides, identifying students who need tutoring, selection and training of tutors, and expectations of tutoring sessions.

The intended audience of this site is “trainers of tutors working at the post-secondary level who provide services to deaf, hard-of-hearing and late-deafened students”. The purpose is to present training materials to be used with “tutors who are new to working with deaf and hard-of-hearing students and who will be working with students on their own or through an interpreter” (Davis and Smith). Though the material targets post-secondary learning, I feel much of the information could also be used with students in K-12.
