If you want to become a teacher of the deaf, first find out what communication method you want to use. There are programs that teach sign language, total communication, and oral education. There are many programs that out there that have full scholorships for deaf education. Here are a couple of websites:

Maybe you want to become an interpreter? Use sign language and translate for a Deaf client. That is a different kind of training, then you have to get certified but you can call your own hours after that! Check into local community colleges for sign language.

Check out the American Society for Deaf Children if you are looking for a school for a child.
If you are looking for a place for education and training go to the University of Pennsylvania. They have a great course for teaching the deaf and hard of hearing
