Metric Education in Schools for the Deaf—Are We Ready?

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf's Metrication Project conducted a survey of 250 schools and programs for the hearing impaired in spring 1980. The survey requested information such as why and how the metric system is taught, teachers' perceptions of their needs and abilities in metric education, and the extent and nature of school-sponsored metric training for teachers. Results showed that while 62% of responding schools for the hearing impaired included metric measurement in their curricula, teachers felt the need for more information and instruction-oriented training and materials. Recommendations and resources are offered.
