LINK: https://outschool.com/classes/american-sign-language-semester-long-class-part-2-once-a-week-4FPyHA4d?usid=7t3spJUS&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link You are welcome to sign up if you took ASL 1 elsewhere, or if you took it with me. Camera is to be on at all times. This is a very interactive class between teacher and all learners. It is also important that your face and upper body are visible, so the teacher and fellow learners can see everyone signing. You will be learning part 2 of American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, including proper ASL. We will play games and do fun activities, while learning! Some pages will be screenshot to show materials connected to the lessons. Learners will learn where to find vocab to study online for homework. Each 55 minute class will involve vocabulary, and knowledge about ASL and the Deaf community, including Deaf history and about Deaf culture. There will be plenty of review each week. We will watch some short videos and discuss them in class, related to the information being taught. Learners will go into breakout rooms to practice their ASL vocabulary and sentences with one another, as the teacher pops into each "room" to assist, as needed, if there enough learners. ASL will be used 99% of the time by teacher and learner. ASL is a visual language! Full one year of knowledge is required. Zoom chat will also be utilized for communication. Much of this class will be a real-life high school curriculum, approved by the University of California. APPROXIMATELY what we will do week by week....I will work at the speed of the learners, so it might fluctuate a bit: Week 1 More CL's, tense, More Rule of 9, Famous Deaf, Daily routines, time of day, spatial organization, more on alerts Week 2 Hygiene, frequency, NAD, CC, CART, movies, captions, Household activities, Week 3 Various types of signed languages-when to use and when not to use, etc, Week 4 Taking turns, concepts and contexts, verb vs. noun, clothing, parts of clothing, more classifiers Week 5 more on family, the body, ethnicities, Deaflympics, hairstyles, facial hair, disabilities Week 6 Characteristics and personality traits, health, the world around us, ethics, cultural Deaf organizations Week 7 Hometowns, housing, around your home, more on spatial visualization, around town/cities Week 8 Commercials with ASL, Deaf West theater, other theaters, plays, movies, TV shows, Deaf actors/actresses, CL: Claw 5 Week 9 Collectivism vs. individualism, spatial visualization, TDI for access, money, dollars and cents, getting around town, CL: Bent V, spatial visualization Week 10 More around town, Deaf individuals through the years, making plans, more on Agent Markers, occupations Week 11 To Be, food, eating out, Deaf owned restaurants, and businesses Week 12 Animals, Service dogs for those with hearing loss, more on CLs, Visual Vernacular, STEM, Technology

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 30 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 for curriculum guidelines, A-G California high school graduation requirements. (Language other than English/2nd language) 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.
