• In Event: "It's Our Responsibility as Teacher Educators": Toward Justice in Brazilian Public Schooling

Abstract

This study problematizes the Brazilian educational policies and the process of d/Deaf students inclusion. The objective of this paper is to present the legal arguments to include this group of people in the public schools and to analyse the efforts of teachers and the experiences of d/Deaf students through this reality. To observe the reality of the educational inclusion process of d/Deaf students and analysis according to the legislation, we are documenting the reality in two public schools in two cities in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. The results of this research can reflect on teaching and learning equity for d/Deaf students in an inclusive classroom format.
