From the author: A 2-year project to improve the writing skills of children who are deaf included instruction for teachers in the process approach to teaching writing. The project encompassed 10 public school programs for students who are deaf and included 325 students in Grades 4-10 and 52 teachers. The project included specific training goals for teachers, a self-report procedure for the teachers, and a data-collection and analysis phase to assess short-term effects on students' writing.Teacher self-reports indicated widespread involvement in the project, and pretest and posttest results showed dramatic improvement in students' writing-particularly in grammatical skills. Scoring systems for students' papers are included.
