I have searched and searched for the best Deaf education books to share with you. The education of the deaf has always been a hot topic in the Deaf community, and learning the ins and outs of this education is very important. I have checked out these books and read their reviews. Sadly, there aren't that many good ones out there. But, I can say that the ones listed below are recommended:

deaf education Dual Language Instruction: A Handbook for Enriched Education
by Nancy Cloud
If you are interested in teaching the Deaf, then this book is for you. It was a required book for my Deaf Learner class, and I highly recommend it! Teaching two languages at once is not easy, and this book will help you implement, administer, evaluate, and maintain dual language programs.

deaf education Manual Communication: Implications for Education
by Harry Bornstein
This book looks at manual communication and goes into detail about the various sign systems used to education deaf children today. You will learn about American Sign Language, Pidgin Sign, Signing Exact English, Signed English, Cued Speech, and more. There are also success results that show how successful various forms of manual communication are in different settings. I highly recommend this book for educators of the Deaf!

deaf education Disabling Pedagogy: Power, Politics, and Deaf Education
by Linda Komesaroff
This book is well researched and provides a look at the education of deaf children and how it can be improved to show better results--results that equate deaf children with their hearing peers. Deaf children need a high level of education and this book provides research into the different methods. I highly recommend this book for the deaf educator.
