My Students
Teaching American Sign Language is unlike any other subject. Not only do we learn a new language, but we learn about new people and a new culture. What's lucky for my students and I is that we are located in Southern California close to California State University, Northridge where many Deaf families/people reside. My students have daily opportunities to interact with Deaf people on campus and off! My students are a part of a diverse campus and adding ASL to their repertoire makes them more conscious and worldy, which makes for well-rounded citizens of our community!
I try to instill the passion of American Sign Language in all of my students, because it truly is a life skill that they can take with them even after high school!
Working with my students, I see their drive and their willingness to learn about others and I want to make sure they learn all that they can! I want them to be comfortable using the skills we've practiced in class and use them to make new friends with Deaf people and consider being a part of a the community as a Deaf Community Ally!
My Project
Teaching American Sign Language is a fairly new field. Since it is not quite as established as teaching Spanish or French, etc. there are not a lot of products that can be easily purchased. Most of the time, I've been making my own materials that I use with my students.
I see what other language teachers have and use with their students, and I want my students to have the same.
With this new printer for my classroom, I'll be able to make posters that I can hang in my classroom, develop and print game boards or other materials that I can use for review, and packets/booklets to help students study.
I've been making my own materials since I've started teaching, but having a color printer that I can use just for my students opens up a lot more room for me to be more creative and fun! I'll be able to make my students anything they need so they can feel successful and own their ASL learning. I already have so many ideas!
