Has anyone else checked out the new website called World Language Mentor? I was on the forums this morning and once I registered, I was able to download some real good handouts. The site is [link removed].
For the first time, the Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures at UNCWilmington scheduled beginning classes in American Sign Language – one in summer (July) and one in Fall 2008. Immediately these classes filled to capacity (25 students) and there is a waiting list. Unfortunately our instructor just informed me that she needs to withdraw from teaching the class. This places us in a difficult situation, and so I am seeking someone who can teach these two classes part-time. Contact me if you are interested or need additional information

I am taking my first class in ASL this summer. I am a certified teacher in regular education K-9, can I still work with Deaf students after I become fluent or would I have needed to be in special education?
Most likely you would need certification in Deaf Education in order to be a teacher of the deaf. My state requires a Masters in Deaf Ed.

Hello. I teach ASL as a foreign language at the high school level. I am interested in learning of positions open in other states. I am especially interested in the Midwest or the Southeastern coast.

I really dont know much about learning positions but here in pasco county florida I know the high school called "J.W. Mitchell High school", aka mitchell, which is in a good area, could use ASL classes!!! School starts again in late August 2008! Its an "a" school (i think. In a good areawith plenty of students!! Pasco county has over 72 public schools in it, (very populated area) but only 3 do anything for the deaf. 1 elementary(k-5), 1 middle (6-8), and 1 high (9-12). Mitchell contains most students so would do best for asl. You can enroll in asl classes in the area but only 1 location besides the 1 high school and no credits or nothing for it!

I am a highly experienced American Sign Language teacher who is looking to relocate to the New York/New Jersey area this summer. Currently, I work as a ASL teacher at a High School near San Diego. I have all appropriate certifications to teach on any school level. Resume and references are available upon request.
For a demonstration of my ASL skills, please click on my Youtube video of “Our Deepest Fear”. Here is the link again: [link removed].
Please feel free to contact me if you are looking or know someone who may be looking to hire ASL teacher or instructor. Full-time preferable but Part-time also will be considered.
Thank you. I am looking forward to hearing from you. MB
I have a question about tactual signing -- I think I'm using the correct term. I'm getting a new student in the fall who is deaf/blind. She has some vision and has been using some ASL signs. Now they're talking about switching her to tactual signing b/c her vision is deteriorating rapidly and will not be functional at all much longer. How different are tactual signing and ASL? Will she have to drop her ASL signs and learn new signs? Will we be able to just build on the signs she already has? Just curious at this point.
At times when I have gone to Deaf-Blind related meetings I have served as a secondary relay for a person who needed tactile interpreting.
There are times you will need to modify simply because you cannot use the eye brow etc parts of ASL. I found that many people liked the addition of more SEE things such as initialzation and the question sign placed in.
It's been so exciting to see...See MoreHi. I've been on the Spanish and French boards for over a year but this is my first time here. I'm a high school French and Spanish teacher. I'm just learning ASL. I've just been teaching myself (through books and some great websites) but as I do that, I'm also teaching my almost one-year old hearing daughter.
It's been so exciting to see her use the signs and understand them. I love it that she's able to communicate with me before she's able to speak. She's signing milk, eat, and more but she understands lots more. I know about 70 signs and I'm having great fun with it. I'm thinking about teaching other parents/caregivers how to do the same. I'm not shy about teaching...I've been doing it for 15 years. I'm good with language so what I've learned has been easy. I know that I don't have to be fluent in ASL to teach parents to communicate with their kids but I'm enjoying it so much. Is there anyone out there that does this? If so, I'd love some advice on how to get started. Thanks. Canto
I'm trying to locate an ASL teacher for my granddaughters who will be home-schooled next year. They are in Canton, CT. Can anyone help? I apologize if this isn't the venue to ask, but this site came up when I 'googled'. Thanks

I am a special ed teacher for K-12 but I am also currently taking ASL classes and will be finished in a year. What kinds of positions are out there for someone who wants to teach the deaf or teach the hearing about the deaf? There is a master's program near me that specializes in teaching the deaf but I have not decided if I want to get another master's degree. Plus I would only be able to take classes in the summer (no night classes during the school year) so it would take a long time to get.
