Intermediate Level
You are welcome to sign up if you took ASL 2 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 3 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. Reviewing class videos is HIGHLY recommended to practice. 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 100% of the time by teacher and learner. Chat will be implemented, as well. ASL is a visual language! 2 semesters in college or 2 semester classes on Outschool 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.
Learning Goals
Learners will learn 100s of more signs and will be able to sign sentences and communicate in ASL. Learners will have a rich understanding of the Deaf community, history, culture, well-known Deaf people, Deaf people who changed, or are changing the world, important events in history connected to the Deaf community and people with disabilities, and so much more.

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.Reviews
