Annotated Bibliography

Here are 5 credible sources I have found on the LBC's library database:


  • Marschark, Marc. Raising And Educating A Deaf Child : A Comprehensive Guide To The Choices, Controversies, And Decisions Faced By Parents And Educators. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 12 June 2014.
CRAPP 
This article is a credible source for my research because it is a whole book explaining almot every perspective on having a Deaf child with much research and stats put in. The author's credentials include a Ph.D. and a professor for liberal studies and Marschark serves on the Board of Directors for the American Society for Deaf Children as well as Advisory Boards for the Research Master's Degree Program in Interpreter Training and Teaching Sign Language of the Netherlands program at Hogeschool van Utrecht, the Willie Ross School for the Deaf, and the University College, London Centre on Deafness, Cognition, and Language. Date-wise this publication is important to include because though it is a bit older the information all still applies since in my other research there have not been changes to the laws already placed and talked about in this book. The author's main goal in this article is to teach about raising and educating deaf children. The publishing source for this article generally targets an audience that fits the following description: parents in general and of special needs/deaf children, teachers, and counselors. This audience would be interested in this subject because it is talking about raising and educating a deaf child which is the job of parents, teachers, and some councilors who all deal with children and are responsible for their growth and would generally agree with this author's perspective on the topic. This evidence builds credibility because there are many statistics placed in the book along with different laws and events that were passed and the author deals much with deaf students being a professor himself for them but is also limited because every case of having a deaf child is going to be different and the decisions needed to be made will not be as easy as he writes it. I think this article is important to include in my essay because the education of deaf children is an important part of my paper and this book describes a lot and how it has improved or shown to decline throughout the recent years.

CRAPP 
This article is a credible source for my research because it talks about incorporating deaf children in a regular everyday classroom, in this case being physical education class. The author's credentials include (there are multiple so ill write about one) has a Ph.D. from Oregon State university, MS from University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse and BS at West Chester University and specializes in adapted physical education, especially children with sensory impairments. Date-wise this publication is important to include because it is a fairly relevant date and can give some of the improvements made for incorporating deaf children into an everyday classroom environment. The author's main goal in this article is to inform others what has happened in this gym class and document it for people to read then also instruct other teachers on how to make this a successful attempt in welcoming a deaf child into the normal everyday classroom. The publishing source for this article generally targets an audience that fits the following description: teachers and counselors This audience would be interested in this subject because it is talking about educating a deaf child generally in a normal classroom and what needs to be done to do so and would generally agree with this author's perspective on the topic. This evidence builds credibility because it is a first hand story of one boy and then branches off into showing how this can improve a classroom environment as it did here in real life. I think this article is important to include in my essay because this article really shows that it is possible and informs people on what they need to do to get this done.

CRAPP 
This article is a credible source for my research because this article refers to questionnaires that took place in a few schools about bullying and discrimination and reported the results. The author's credentials include (there are multiple so I'll write about one) has Ph.D., University of Maryland, Human Development, 1997, C.A.G.S, Gallaudet University, School Psychology, 1985, M.A., Gallaudet University, Developmental Psychology, 1982, B.A., Lenoir-Rhyne College, Psychology/Sociology, 198 and Mary T. Weiner, Ph.D. is the program contact person for the Adult Degree Programs and a professor with the Department of Psychology at Gallaudet, in addition to teaching at Gallaudet University, she has provided numerous presentations and training sessions on intervention strategies for use with deaf and hard-of-hearing students; especially in bullying prevention. Date-wise this publication is important to include because it is close to our current time now and the questionnaire is old but this article is written years after because the stats still prevail to be the same/are becoming worse. The author's main goal in this article is to report the results of the bullying questionnaires and draw conclusions to explain why this is happening. The publishing source for this article generally targets an audience that fits the following description: teachers, counselors, and parents. This audience would be interested in this subject because the conclusions drawn from these results can allow the audience to read about it and understand it more in order to prevent this bullying and would generally agree with this author's perspective on the topic. This evidence builds credibility because it is a first hand results from real deaf students from multiple schools in the US. I think this article is important to include in my essay because this article's results and conclusions show the real support for there being discrimination among deaf children in public schools with hearing kids.

CRAPP 
This article is a credible source for my research because this article is based on a real story of a women and woman's past experiences in the church as a deaf child. The author's credentials include being news editor for Christianity Today magazine. Date-wise this publication is important to include because this type of articel is pretty timeless because it is the work that is talked about in this article that is more important and sets an example for most others when dealing with educating the Deaf with anything including the bible in order to further their relationship with God. The author's main goal in this article is to retell a story of a women who went to church but didn't understand much till everything really interpreted to her and how she wants to now help other deaf children understand more and not let them be lost in the translation. The publishing source for this article generally targets an audience that fits the following description: parents, pastors, religious mentors, and translators. This audience would be interested in this subject because these are the people that are responsible for getting information such as the word out to children, deaf or not, and try to spread it enough for them to understand and live by the word.. if it isn't fully understood, they cannot live through the word and would generally agree with this author's perspective on the topic. This evidence builds credibility because this is in a publication of a well known Christian magazine with interviews of Christy Ortiz (the women in the article). I think this article is important to include in my essay because this reflects why deaf children need to have more attention than they get sometimes because people think that as long as it is translated they'll understand as everyone else but it isn't always the case, and that sometimes there needs to be further action or they could become an 'unreached people group'.

CRAPP 
This article is a credible source for my research because it is a published book by the only deaf university int the world and all of the books that come from their print are reliable sources. The author's credentials include editor of American Annals of the Deaf and co editor of Educational and Developmental Aspects of Deafness since 1990. Date-wise this publication is important to include because some of the information is older but the content is timeless because it just explains the developmental aspects of a deaf child, these aspects r generally the same as today other than the new technology of today that can now help them. The author's main goal in this article is to inform readers how deaf children's minds develop and what they need for full development. The publishing source for this article generally targets an audience that fits the following description: parents, teachers and translators. This audience would be interested in this subject because these are the people that are concerned with the development and educational development of any child including a deaf child and would generally agree with this author's perspective on the topic. This evidence builds credibility because this author has done years of research a subjects and topics such as this. I think this article is important to include in my essay because this can explain deeper what being deaf actually does to a child and their development and along with a comparison to a hearing child, then being able to see the real difference and the special attention needed to give to them.
