5 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

American Sign Language is a common language used in the United States and Canada by members of the Deaf community. This course provides an introduction and overview of Deaf culture, characteristics of American Sign Language, and basic signs that are commonly used between children and caregivers. This course includes many videos and reflections with helpful resources and reading material that will assist caregivers in including sign language elements in their programs. This course does not aim to teach fluent ASL, but instead give a general introduction to American Sign Language.​

This is a 5 clock-hour course that is presented in English. The training method is online and self-paced, with instructor engagement. The training platform is mobile friendly, and most students will find that it works successfully on cell phones and tablets.

Reviews for this Online Course 

1. Thank you Posted by Susan on 3rd Mar 2016
   Thank you for providing this self paced class. I liked begin able to pause and go back and review.
2. Sign language for any age class Posted by Monika on 7th Jan 2016
   Although I have a year of sign language under my belt from 30 years ago and do use it in my preschool classroom now, this class was a great refresher in how I can incorporate more with my students. I appreciated that it was mostly done silently and when introducing new words, I felt I learned more from 4 different people signing the same word than if one person had done all the signing.
