このクラスは アメリカの手話で教えられます。

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.

I have been teaching the beautiful language of American Sign Language (ASL) for about 25 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.
