This study examined the perceptions of teams of two teachers, one deaf and
one hearing, team-teaching students who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH)
in co-enrolled classrooms. Five teachers who had worked in teams and their
supervisor were interviewed about their team-teaching experiences and their
perception of the effectiveness of this approach. Informants' responses
were videotaped, transcribed, and analyzed. From the interview data, four
main categories were identified: (1) philosophy of education, (2)
perception of roles, (3) benefits of team-teaching, and (4) challenges.
Findings revealed that team-teaching in co-enrolled classrooms gave all
students access to their own and each other's cultures, languages, and
social identities; deaf and hearing people were seen to have equality of
status and students who are D/HH were seen to benefit from teachers' high
expectations.
