In this course, your child will learn the basics of American Sign Language. This is a one-on-one class. Students taking this course will learn the basics of American Sign Language. Each lesson is tailored to your child's progress. In the first ten weeks, your child should be able to recognize and express in Sign Language: -The Alphabet -Numbers 1-20 -Colors -Emotions -WH Questions and short phrases -Basic Introductions including, "My name is..." and "What is your name?" -Family and People -Places -Weather -Animals -And More! Each lesson, the instructor will build from the last and go based on your child's pace. -Some lessons will have a practice post (on the Outschool class page) for students to practice with. These may be in the form of a recorded video, Google Slide, PDF, or a post with lists of words for the child to study and practice. These vary and depend on progress of the student. *For one-on-one lessons, I will wait 10 minutes on our scheduled meeting. After ten minutes, if the learner has not logged on to the meet, I will end the meeting. Unfortunately, at this time, I will not be able to record our lesson unless requested at least 1-day prior to our class time.
Learning Goals
Students should be able to express and recognize the multiple basic ASL signs and how to start using them together to make short phrases and convey a message. The instructor will use voice to demonstrate and explain signs but will also turn off her voice to observe the learner's receptive skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I studied American Sign Language Interpreting in college and received my Bachelor's Degree through Northern Arizona University. I have been a sign language Interpreter in the K-12 setting for the past eight years. I am fluent and passionate about this beautiful language and Deaf culture. I also have experience teaching. So I figured why not merge the two together!
