Hello, I am looking for anyone who can provide assistance to me writing an ASL curriculum for my school. I am starting a new course this year and plan to use the Signing Naturally series along with some other resources, such as Movers and Shakers for some Deaf history. Any ideas for curriculum and lesson plans would be great! Thanks
Does anyone know of a final examination that can replace the ASL regents? I have a student who has 1 unit of French, passed the profiency but then took 2 years of ASL (1 & 2). The school will not give her an advanced regents.
OK I am hoping that maybe someone else will find this site that is also Deaf and teaching hearing students.
I am getting very frustrated with the hearing students I am teaching. They get mad that I can't hear them so don;t respond when they call my name over and over and over again. I have told them I am Deaf but due to excellent oral skills they do not believe me and are constantly doing things to try and prove I can hear them and getting mad beacuse I don;t respond when they talk to me when I am not looking at them.
How does your principal take your disablity? I am hard of hearing since birth. My last principal made my life extreamly difficult to the point I quit. I also was teaching science. I have trouble hearing where sound are comming from so I don't always catch who is talking. How do you do youer lessons; do you use the ovehead or write on the board or powerpoint.

My principal this year is very good about it, he has said I can have whatever I need, we moved a smart board into my room but unfortuantely it isn't hooked up yet so I am still using the white board. My principal last year refused to even try to look my direction when talking to me making it impossible to speach read accurately!
I find it much easier to teach when I have PowerPoint and a projector at least as I am facing the class more and I can catch more things. Unfortuntately I have plenty of students that just cover their mouths so I can't see what they are saying and I don;t have the residual hearing like you do to be able to catch the words anyway.
I have tried over and over to explain to the kids about being appropriate but they just don't get it, I am not sure if it is the generation or the fact that for some reason I feel drawn to working with more at risk populations of kids, last year I was at a better inner-city type school and this year I am on Rez. I know eventually I will be moving into Deaf Ed and probably moving to a residential school, I was raised main streamed oral but I want to try seeing how the other side lives.
I know that other teachers have a lot of problems with the kids abt inapropriate actions and behaviors so I really don't think it is me, they just see me as someone worse off so someone to take advantage of. I am sure with ur hearing loss u know the feeling and get tired of it too!
Good luck and I hope it gets better for u soon!

Hello All- Can anyone direct me to someone that can help me with an afterschool program in RI for grades 6 and below? We want to start a sign language club to encourage the kids to speak with a hearing impaired student at the school. Here is the story behind it... My oldest daughter Ariana, 8, is a very inspiring, kind hearted individual. There is a girl named Shannon that spends part of the day, lunch, and recess in with her class. Shannon communicates using a very basic form of sign language and my daughter (as well as a few of her friends and her little sister) want to comunicate with Shannon desperately. Ariana has brought home numerous books from the library but has a hard time learning the movements from a flat page. If anyone has any ideas or knows anyone that may be able to help enrich the lives of these children- please let me know. Thank you, Staci
Hi Staci, Don't know of anyone in your area, but the club is a great idea! I'm currently studying ASL & am really enjoying it:)
You might try contacting these people & seeing if they know anyone. (Deaf community is a big part of residential schools for the Deaf.) I just googled residential school for the deaf in RI, so don't know how updated this is, but might be worth a try.
Rhode Island School for the Deaf 1 Corliss Park Providence, RI 02908-1795
OR... Maybe look in your area for community college programs in ASL or Deaf Studies & someone might find this club the perfect project for an internship?!!
In the meantime, here is a website you & your daughter can use to see individual ASL signs modelled. [link removed]
Good luck!

Staci, Also check with various churches in the area that has a deaf ministry. See if one of them is available to do a club at school. Videos are easier than books when trying to learn signs independently. Check your public library and encourage them to order some DVD, videos, etc.

A friend of mine has a deaf daughter who attends regular school. Everything was fine until middle school this year. One interpreter is also the hearing impaired teacher and special ed case manager. The relationship between student and teacher/interpreter has been strained and is getting worse. The student finally requested a meeting with the principal to talk about her problems with the teacher--and that teacher was also the interpreter for that meeting. There are issues re: the tty--the school only has one and it is in the hearing impaired teacher's classroom. She leaves (and locks the door) while the student is still at school some days. (So apparently no tty in nurse's office, counselor's office, main office).
My question is about having one person carry out three different roles--or even two since special ed teachers are usually the case managers. How does this affect neutrality of the interpreter?

How does this affect neutrality > of the interpreter? is the student total deaf, or does this student have some hearing capabilties? this student will need to function in a hearing world. it is good the student speaks up for themself and should continue to do so. an impartial interpreter should be available for all meetings. the teacher involved should not have served as the interpreter. not only should the student have an interpreter independent of the teacher IF this student is mainstreamed, but the interpreter should be changed each year. repeatedly interpreters become emotionally involved with the students and families and the role changes from interpreter to advisor and personal assistant.
Roles of interpreters and teachers are different. You can check out the RID website for information about interpreters. In my state, PA, any special education can teach deaf/HH students in public school regardless of training in ASL. Which is amazing...Has your friend looked into attending a deaf school. These are great schools. They will prepare the student for both the hearing and deaf cultures. Your friend is entitled to have an advocate attend all IEP meetings with them. They can also request a certified interpreter to attend the meeting at no charge to them, it is part of IDEA and American with Disabilities Act. I don't understand the issue about the TTY???Does the teacher of the student have RID certification as an interpreter? There is a huge difference when someone "interprets" for students b/c they know some or even a lot of ASL, and someone who is certified as an interpreter. School districts want to save $, so they cut corners where they can. On 1/18/08, m wrote: > On 11/14/07, mom wrote: >> A friend of mine has a deaf daughter who attends regular >> school.

My daughter is in high school. She would like to be a teacher of blind and/or deaf students. Where (in Alabama?) would she go to learn this? Is ASL a certificated course you take for a year or two? Is it part of a bachelor degree of a special ed major? Any recommendations? Thanks, Connie
Believe or not ASL is still not recognized as a foreign language in all states yet. Chances are if your state recognizes it, then you'll start seeing local school district adding ASL to their curriculum. (Probably major cities only.) I know the trouble our district has is finding certified teachers of ASL. It can't be people who are fluent in ASL, teachers of the deaf, interpreters, deaf people themselves... must be a certified teacher with a degree in ASL - and that is the trick.
You didn't say what grade of high school so keep in mind that things may change in a year or two. Here, our state dep't has now added a job description for ASL teachers, and now our state colleges are adding curriculum to meet the demand.
If your daughter is getting interested in this field - she's probably learning about various signing methods. You will see classes for SEE (Signing Exact English), perhaps PSE (Pidgin Signed English) and then ASL (American Sign Language). Keep in mind that ASL is its own langauge. Other sign systems work off the English spoken/written language. Again, it depends on your district whether they utilize ASL or SEE.
Looking for sign classes: First, check with your school district. Depending on the size of your district, it might be offered at another school in same district that your daughter can open-enroll. Also, depending on your district, if a local district has a high school that teaches, perhaps she'd be allow to do last period at that school or something. (We allow our kids to do this with vocational training classes.) Check community colleges, rec centers, churches with a deaf ministry, libraries for help in locating a class or two. There are lots of books and videos/DVDs out there but there's nothing like learning it in person directly. Also check into how far you live from the state school for the deaf & blind. Volunteering there would be an awesome experience.
Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. has some great summer ASL classes for high schoolers. In a couple of months they should have their summer brochures available.
As far as wanting to be a teacher of the deaf-blind. This is a separate field of learning in college. Different than special ed, deaf education, or visually impaired. She will need to do some research and find those colleges that have a program for this. Depending on where she wants to live and teach will depend upon if she needs a Bachelors or Masters. (My state requires a Masters degree.)
Another thought about choosing colleges - really do your research. Some colleges follow the oral method of deaf education and you won't find ASL in their curriculum. Some colleges might have deaf/blind under "severe needs". It's helpful if you look up the State Department of Education to see what they call the job title / certification name so you can ask the college "will this program prepare me to get xyz certification?"
Deaf/blind is considered a "low incidence exceptionality". Many colleges have a teacher education program but this is a speciality area. It just might mean your daughter might need to go to an out of state college to get this degree. I know tuition is higher but do check around. There could be scholarships out there for these "hard to fill" positions. She could do her 2 year of core curriculum (math, English, etc) at a local community college and then transfer out of state for the last 2 years for her speciality. She could very well get a scholarship for a Masters if she does well in undergrad. Some districts will even offer to pay with her promise to work in their district for 3-5 years or so. It's a great, rewarding career. I wish her well.
Another 2 bits of information to take or leave ... I would suggest that your daughter get a dual certificate in undergrad (elementary ed and ___ ) or perhaps undergrad in deaf ed, masters in deaf/blind. Both degrees in deaf/blind will limit her to just that. You never know what the future holds. She might marry and a job requires her husband to move, change districts and even change states. It's helpful to have "fall-back" qualifications to use while her dream job opens up.
tahnks for your time in reading such a long post! Hopefully, it's been helpful.

Ironically, ASL has been offered in our local middle school for many years (that provided my own intro to ASL over 20 years ago), but it is NOT offered in local high schools, colleges, or universities. Look around at community organizations and nearby schools (even middle schools), if she is looking for an introduction to ASL that she can take while still in high school. For the university-level work, as the other poster said, she's likely to need to go much further from home.
I am interested in becoming a sign language interpreter. The career sites indicate that there will be jobs available, but I am having trouble finding any in New Hampshire. Does anyone know of jobs that are available in the southern NH or Northern MA area for a person with a BA and certification in ASL interpretation? Thanks, Karen
If you are interested, we ALWAYS need interpreters in good 'ol Michigan!!!! We are in dire need of them. So, if you ever need work here--by all means--you will get one! Good Luck!

look up the signing time dvd's! There are some other good signing vieos and print outs but i think "signing time" is the best! also view aslpro.com and look at *baby sign language* you local library should have some good stuff but be sure its for kids (also known as: baby sign language)
