Hi, Sarah. I am interested in learning what qualifications are
needed to teach ASL at the high school level. I have a
bachelor's degree in education, and a graduate level degree in
deaf education. I also have signed for over 30 years, as I have
a sister who is deaf. Would this qualify me to teach ASL or
would I need another requirement? Thanks. Jana
