As I've been checking the web, there are loads of ASL cert. programs-maybe the state of PA is just a bit behind!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi all- I am the interloper who has gained so much by being a part of the listserv. Different states have different standards for teachers who are qualified to teach deaf education using manual sign or ASL. I am affiliated with Texas Tech University College of Education preservice teaching of Deaf Hard of Hearing Teacher program as well as the Deafblind program. We have a totally online program to prepare masters level teachers to become certified to teach students who are deaf also deafblind. Before the No Child Left Behind and the highly qualified standard for teachers theres was a huge shortage across the nation for qualified teachers of deaf students AND qualified interpreters AND intevenors and the list went on and on. Now, that all teachers must be trained in a core subject such as math, science, reading, or social studies the shortage is even greater. A little know fact, In Texas there are 7 recognized different manual sign communication methods that are used in various communities with ASL being the 3rd down on the list. TTU/COE Deaf Hard of Hearing program requires students to demonstrate mastery of the manual sign used in the community/school district.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, so I thought I could be more helpful than I am in actuality!!! Most places have training programs as the woman from Texas suggested (usually based in Univ.; ours, for example, are " hosted " by NorthEastern Univ, Northern Essex Community College, and BU). I can't find yours!!! BUT....if you call (and you may have already done this) your local Deaf Services/Interpreter Referral Bureau they can get you what you need. Those agencies hire only certified interpreters so they will know the connection to the training programs and you can get the rest. So...hope this is somewhat helpful!!! pam > ---------- > From: CHARGE on behalf of barbzwires@... > Reply To: CHARGE > Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:15 PM > To: CHARGE > Subject: RE: ASL certification > > Thanks Pam-Yes PA only... > Barb > > --------- ASL certification > > > > > > Hi all- > > > We just had 's IEP and all went well.
