I have been teaching ASL levels 1-4 for 20 years at a local high school. My school has a gifted/talented program for 7th and 8th graders so I teach all levels of students from 7th-12th grade. I have experience using Master ASL, Signing Naturally, and creating my own materials to use in my ASL classroom.
I love getting students involved and using the language. I try to make my classroom student focused and fun. Using the ACTFL guidelines for proficiency help me implement interaction in the classroom.
My students have won awards at our Utah State Annual ASL competition.
I have a degree in Elementary and Deaf Education and a Master degree in Deaf Education from Utah State University. I am endorsed in ESL and Special Education.
I know that as a teacher it can be hard to find the resources we need, especially when we face new circumstances. Sometimes we just need a helping hand when we feel stuck, or need a new idea. I hope to help share my resources to give simple solutions for your signing classroom.
