For learners who took American Sign Language ASL & the Deaf Community Part 4/5 for 8 Weeks For 10-16. This will be a ONE time class to prepare for a transition into the next level, when everyone can join. We will play games and do fun activities, while learning! This 55 minute class will involve American Sign Language vocabulary, and knowledge about ASL and the Deaf community, including Deaf history and about Deaf culture. We will discuss more ASL signs related to: school, occupations, classes, Deaf education, initializations, Gallaudet University, and review from the last class, as well as information about Deaf culture and history, as it connects to the vocabulary mentioned. This is a very interactive class between teacher and all learners. It is important to have your camera on and your face and upper body visible, so the teacher and fellow learners can see everyone signing. ASL is a visual language! Zoom chat will also be utilized for communication.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
Bachelor's Degree from California State University, Northridge
I have been teaching the beautiful language of American Sign Language (ASL) for about 25 years at many venues. I have taught at a public high school and a private middle school and high school. I also have taught at a teen center, recreation and park classes-ages 6 months (baby and me)--to adults, afterschool/in school programs at public and private schools for ages preschool to 6th grade. I also have taught adults though an adult education program. I have taught many homeschoolers, as well, privately and in groups. I have taught using Zoom and I am very familiar with its functions.
I worked for GLAD (Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness) as a job placement counselor, advocate and ASL interpreter for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals, helping my clients get great jobs!
I graduated with my BA from California State University, Northridge, which was a huge Deaf Studies and ASL program. I have 50 post graduate units in special education and world languages.
I started an ASL program at a private high school and created the entire curriculum from the ground up for ASL 1,2,3, getting all three approved by the University of California, A-G high school graduation requirements. ASL is not English, and I will teach your children the proper way to sign in ASL, as well as teach about the rich and amazing Deaf culture, Deaf community and Deaf history.
I will move at the pace of the students in my classes.
