Abstract
This article proposes and develops a model of teacher resistance based on interviews with eleven teachers employed in a school for the deaf that operated an oral teaching policy up to 1979. It focuses on the relationship between the reified structures in deaf education and individual agency. Teachers had to negotiate tensions between how they were instructed to teach and what they felt was best for the students in terms of language, cultural identity and community membership. Costs of collusion and resistance, and the pertinence of these issues in the context of current discourse around speaking and listening are discussed.
