There will be no live meetings as this is a Flex class and can be done at a flexible schedule at the student’s own pace during the 4 week time frame. There will be 8 video lessons (1 lesson will be posted each week and will be accessible through nearpod). You can contact me anytime and I will make sure I answer no later than 48 hours. There will also be a group practice after each lesson in which students will upload videos of themselves doing some of the ASL signs/ sentences related to the content in the lesson.

For each group practice,Students will learn through experiences involving hands-on conversations using American Sign Language in which they will record videos of themselves responding to conversations amongst the teacher and the other students in the class using ASL revolving around the lesson's topic.

Office Hours: Students (if requested) can set up a 15 minute live video chat appointment with me through Outschool's Zoom platform if they want extra help with some of the ASL content.

Optional Group Video Chat Meet-Up: At least two to three times during the 8 week period of this FLEX class (pending on how busy I am with my full time preschool teaching job and graduate school), students who are interested can have the option to meet with me by video chat to practice some of their ASL as a group and play some group games in ASL for 20 to 30 minutes.
