| Dr. David Martin talking to MSSD seniors about opportunities in the field of deaf education. |
Ms. Marchut notes that Dr. Martin stressed that students who plan on majoring in education should earn their B.A. in general education. It is vital that, as teachers, they get certification. If they choose to go on to graduate school they may want to focus on a deaf education major at that level. There is a great need for deaf teachers of deaf students.

becoming teachers. According to senior, Amber

while courses in high school should be selected with a specific major in
mind."
