This ongoing course is for ASL discussion. Prerequisite: ASL 2 or higher. I will not be formally teaching, I will be doing guided discussion. This course is primarily for ASL practice and is not meant to teach. If your student learns new signs from this class, then that is wonderful! I am a relaxed teacher and want your kids to have fun. What will be discussed in this class: Music Books Places you like to go Things you like to eat/cook Signs to do with your workplace, do y'all have your own signs, did Deaf people come up with signs for it, etc? Your preferred method of transportation and why Note: This is only a taste of what we will discuss, the discussion is largely student led. So, I may start out with music, but we could end up in books in the same week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Samantha Cox. I am planning to teach life skills courses, basic American Sign Language, ASL grammar, and more classes. I am starting with life skills and ASL. I have an associate degree in ASL and a BS in Interpreting. My associates degree is from Onondaga Community College and my B.S degree is from The Rochester Institute of Technology (Most of my schooling was done on the Deaf side of campus, NTID).
I have taught history, ASL, and science to my siblings who are between the ages of 3-14 and my older sister who is in her mid twenties. I did a service learning project where I taught a group of people basic ASL who ranged in ages from 8-50. I have done volunteer interpreting in religious settings and summer camps.
I also taught Sunday School at my church for around three years along with VBS.
I ran my own business on Etsy for several years which focused on sewing and knitting. I hope to eventually add sewing classes to my schedule.
Learning should always be a fun experience for everyone, including the teacher. We should all learn from each other. I am a laid back teacher, I prefer to go by what my students are remembering. I always start with the alphabet and numbers with my older students. With the alphabet in ASL, you can go far.
I was homeschooled my entire life and applied to 5+ colleges. I was accepted into all of them.
(Some of which include: Gallaudet University, Idaho State, Liberty University, Goshen College, etc.)
I got married June 5th 2020, so my name changed to Cox from Speed. I am also a mom of three.Reviews
