Are you a teacher or school staff supporting Deaf/hard of hearing students? Ready to build stronger connections with your students through sign language?
This 4-week ASL program is designed for teachers and school staff who want to build communication confidence and create more inclusive classrooms. Each week, you’ll receive a short lesson led by our ASL Specialists. Lessons include essential signs, common classroom phrases, and practical tips you can use right away.
No previous experience is needed - just curiosity and a willingness to learn. By the end of four weeks, you’ll have a stronger foundation in ASL and new tools to support meaningful communication every day.
Participants in this program will have opportunities to practice:
- Greetings and checking on a student (good morning, what's wrong?)
- Safety and emergency signs (fire alarm, lockdown)
- Transitions (zip up your coat, line up)
- Directions on the playground (beyond NO! and STOP!)
