My comments on tutoring Sign Language : I've known Sign Language as a child to communicate with Deaf & Hard of Hearing friends and I've used Sign Language on my jobs as well.

I have a Master's Degree in Special Education from Lewis & Clark College (1993) from Portland, Oregon. I've been a Special Ed Teacher for almost 20 years....taught the Deaf/Blind students; Deaf/Hard of Hearing students; Multiple-handicapped students with medical issues; as well as worked with students struggling in Reading; Writing; Math; etc. As of right now, I have the privilege of working with variety of Deaf/Blind Adults within the communities around them as grocery shopping, 'others' shopping, etc.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am Deaf. Americans Sign Language is my primary language since age 2. I studied linguistics of ASL/Deaf history/Deaf Culture at Western Oregon University and Deaf Education at McDaniel College. I value ASL. I am currently learning PTASL (a communication mode within DeafBlind community). My goal is to give back to Deaf/Hard of Hearing/DeafBlind communities including children. ASL acquisition/learning is critical to be able to communicate and be ally. I experienced as ASL mentor and ASL house manager at McDaniel College.

As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the value of identifying with the child's unique learning needs in order to encourage and drive their academic success. I believe children need patience from their tutors, steady encouragement, and to be in a positive environment that allows them to feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn without distraction. The importance of good and fun learning early on is so vital to children, and I believe it is our duty as adults to encourage this on a daily basis.

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments!
Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/so ... read more

As I have gone through my classes at Clover Park Technical College to become a para educator and I have work with the middle school kids at my job I have come to realize that I really enjoy working and helping the kids understand how to do new activity as well as help them out with their school work I really enjoy being around teenagers as well as younger age groups my goal is to become a para educator as well as a recreation coordinator in a middle school.
I have work with special education student, as well as advance placement student. I have only noticed one difference with each group and that is the pace that the classroom goes in. Although I enjoy working with small groups or one on one with student I believe that I am able to work with more then ten students at a time. I really try to let the kids explain to me how they interoperate the dictation first and then help them a ... read more
