Teacher preparation programs in Deaf education should be addressing writing instruction methodologies with teacher candidates; however, these new Deaf education teachers often say that they feel ill- or under-prepared to teach writing skills to their Deaf and hard of hearing students. These relatively new teachers may have received some training in how to teach reading, but instruction in how to teach writing seems to be lacking. This study will use a qualitative design to interview new teachers, inquiring about the preparation they received to teach writing, the content of any writing methodology courses, and how they are teaching writing in their current classrooms.
