This class is taught in American Sign Language.

Students will improve their ASL language and literacy skills based on their individual needs and goals.

** MABEL **
I teach American Sign Language (ASL) o Deaf/Hard-of-hearing students whose second language is English, ages 7-17. I have been teaching for 24 years. I hold a Ph.D. in Educational Education with Specialization in Technology, a Master's in Literacy & Reading, Bachelors in Deaf Education (K-12), Physical Education/Health (K-12), Dance (K-12), American Sign Language Interpreter, and American Sign Language Endorsement (K-12).

My approach to teaching is to remain with a teachable heart. Remaining with a teachable heart begins with humility. It begins with realizing that we're are not perfect and need each other. We as teachers are here to help by meeting the student where they are and differentiating the instruction to their needs.

What got me into teaching was wanting to help others learn wherever I can. I fell into teaching when I was in high school, helping a fellow classmate who did not understand something the material, and I was able to help him.

A random fact about me is I love Marvel heroes/heroines, anything ASL, and I could crochet all day and be very content. We'll be a great fit if we simply take one moment at a time, stay calm, take responsibility for our actions/learning, and have fun learning.
