Sign Language is one of my top subjects! I have 12 years of experience teaching American Sign Language to students (3rd - 12th grades), educators, and families of Deaf children. The best way to learn is through fun, interactive activities! I have also worked with members of the Deaf community in the capacity of Interpreter and Job Coach for 15 years. I love this language and sharing my knowledge!

Clear communication is a key to life, that's my motto. No matter which language is being spoken, the goal is to exchange thoughts in a clear and concise manner. Immersed in the culture of the Deaf for 15 years, I have come to realize that American Sign Language is the most efficient, concise language; this is primarily due to the use of visual space, body language, eye gaze and the signs themselves. Students may find learning sign language challenging until the elements of the language noted above are more deeply understood. The best way to comprehend the rules and grammar of this language, I have discovered, is through fun activities, story telling and conversation.

I am a strong believer in family support and "everyone has the ability to learn". One of the essential elements for an effective education background is not just the expertise of the educator, but the devoted involvement of the student and family. My mission is to discovery the "I can factor" in every human being. Once a person has gained the confidence to make attempts and overcome challenges you have created a true learner.

Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies. From my initial work as a foster care academic transitions liaison,to the attainment of my M.ED., my broad service as a classroom teacher, department chair and A.P. program coordinator, I have been fortunate to work with students from across the broadest possible ability spectrum and have learned to sow the seeds of confidence and success in learners of all competency and motivational levels.
Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic progra ... read more
