Rogers, Harriet Burbank

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.15 sec.

Rogers, Harriet Burbank (1834–1919)

US educator. She was the first director at the Clarke School for the Deaf 1867–86. She made this the first US institution to teach the deaf by articulation and lip reading rather than by signing. Her approach was opposed by many but she and her teachers gradually won many over.

She was born in North Billerica, Massachusetts. As a teacher, she adopted the European oral method in teaching a deaf pupil in 1863. Her success helped her set up a school for the deaf in 1866 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
