Educator for 17+ years seeking to help with our tomorrow!

I'll be honest. My "students" from the past have told me that during the time when I was actually sitting down and tutoring/working with them, they didn't even notice that they were actually doing the work. What I do when I try to make the "students" learn is to make them see what the books are trying to say to them through what we see through our eyes, in our world, every day. For example, if the book says: 7 - x = 4, I would be telling the child/adult, "Imagine if you had 7 dollars in your hand." I would then ask them, "How many do I need to take away (subtract) for you to have 4 dollars?" When working with the lower kids, I even use the actual objects and lay them on tables in front of me and show to them so they don't have to use their imagination to figure it out. Or if the page has picture on it, just cross them out if subtracting, or draw more if adding.

I prefer to instruct by example. I found that with sign watching and repeating work best. I like to work with the person at their pace. Running through the material as fast as possible helps no one.
I have spent the last two years in college and have gained my associates degree in ASL. I aspire to become a teacher of ASL at the high school level. I enjoy signing and aim to share my enjoyment with others learning the language. I don't pretend to be perfect at it nor will I expect others to be so. We all learn at different paces and different ways. This skill takes time just as much as any other. My instructors have encouraged me to push myself and learn as much as I can.

Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have been in many American Sign Language classes. Get lots of experience talking to many Deaf people, such as my sister. Working towards becoming an Interpreter for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I can have full conversations with a Deaf person.

I don't have much teaching experience, but i have taught many kids sign language and to this very day they can tell me the different signs that they have learned
I have used sign language since I was about 13 years of age and it became a passion of mine. I took many American Sign Language classes, to which almost all my professors are Deaf. I have gone to many Deaf events with my sister. I have been working towards becoming a Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. When I am at home doing nothing, I will sit and sign the conversations of tv shows, or to music or I will practice all the signs I know.
