At the end of this course, students should be able to sign: Objects and some common words, clothing, activities, time, affirmations and negations, careers, and basic grammar

Learners will not only learn signs but will also have receptive practice lessons every week. Receptive skills are a crucial part of the language and will benefit expressive skills as well. This is also a fun activity for learners. Many feel accomplished and proud they can understand the visual language!

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 in teaching. So I figured why not merge the two together!

Homework Offered
Each week students are encouraged to complete all three activities: Lesson video, practice assignment (with recording), and the receptive video.
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There will be three assessment-style lessons. Every 5 weeks, students will be instructed to take a receptive and a recording expressive quiz to test their skills and knowledge.
