What do deaf students say about pedagogical strategies employed throughout his schooling? What teachers marked their school history? Why? These were the questions that guided this research, methodologically organized in semi - structured interviews with six high school students in a public school on the Federal District (Brasília). When analyzing the reports we could identify the instructional strategies teachers (positive and negative) experienced by participants as well as the expectations of students regarding their schooling processes. It is reiterated at the conclusion of the analysis, the centrality of Brazilian Sign Language for the deaf learning and the use of pictorial resources as a key teaching strategy to the academic success of these students. Other interesting developments relate to the role of deaf trainers and teachers in education and the urgency of creating educational policies that support a school for the deaf, directed and designed for the deaf.
