'This job gives me the opportunity to see deaf kids penetrate the language barrier that isolates them from the hearing world!, J an Zuro When jan Zuro Cfacultyi changf ed her major from the noisy, hectic world of journalism to the silent world of deaf education, she com- mitted herself to possibly one of the most demanding occupations of all. The former journalism major at Texas Christian University became involved in deaf education through a friend in college who served as an inspiration to Mrs. Zuro. Each of Mrs. Zuro's eight students is deaf. She spent around four hours per day with her deaf students, and she taught a sign language class during sixth period as an elective. Members of the elec- tive class learned alphabet and sign- ed to popular songs in order to sharpen their skills, Members of the other class were taught academic subjects as well as communication skills. Basic, fun- damental forms of English, history and math were learned by the small, and therefore, very effective class. Two of the eight students were taken through the entire day aided by interpreters. The remain- ing six spent a portion of the day in Mrs. Zuro's class with academic subjects and a portion in elective classes. When asked about the frustra- tions involved, Mrs. Zuro ffacultyj commented that the frustration is no more than that of any other teacher. But, by nature deaf kids are inquisitive. They just seem so eager to learn about new things. When she wasn't communicating with deaf children or teaching the hearing, Mrs. Zuro enjoyed sports, movies, concerts and plays. Mrs. Zuro had no doubts about the value of her work for herself or to others. She enjoyed the reaching aspect of her job, because it gave me the opportunity to see deaf kids penetrate the language barrier that isolates them from the hearing world. Katie Eklund Communication goes far beyond word of mouth, as jan Zuro ffacultyj uses sign language to convey her thoughts, feelings, and necessary infor- mation to her students. Photo by jamei Srirb.
