Welcome to our ASL course part 2! 

This will be a continuation of our ASL Beginner's course.

In this course, students will learn over 200 signs as well as over 80 sentences. 

We will use PowerPoint slides to teach each class. These classes will be interactive. Students will be encouraged to sign the vocabulary words and sentences as well as be given the opportunity to come up with their own sentences/ask questions. 

For review time,  I will sign to students and students will take turns signing to me as well as to the other students. I hope to see your child in my classroom!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Trinity Baptist College

I have been signing now for over 14 years. In college (2009-2014), I had a deaf roommate. That caused me to pursue fluency in sign language. Even though I got my degree in Elementary Education, I took ASL classes all during college. Along with that, I completely immersed myself in the world of the Deaf. I attended a deaf church, deaf camps, and several interpreter conferences. Along with all of that, I learned most by spending every moment of my free time with many interpreters and deaf friends. I  would go to deaf activities such as game nights and Starbucks meets with my local deaf community. 

After college, I received my Florida interpreter certification and worked as a sign language interpreter for several years. I interpreted for college classes, church, chapel services, staff meetings, video relay services, concerts, appointments, training etc. I also taught sign language to high-school students for 3 years. At times, I have also taught elementary students at schools, camps, and churches. Some classes were one-time classes while other classes lasted for one week. I am currently teaching a deaf children's class at my church. I also have many deaf friends that I communicate with on a regular basis.
