Sign Language with Sharon T.

I am a certified ASL teacher and a certified Interpreter for the Deaf. I fell in love with ASL because of a woman interpreting at my church, and have continued to learn and experience Deaf culture as much as possible. Whether you are just beginning to learn the language or want to sharpen your skills, I want to make it fun and interesting for you. Many of my students have gone on to become interpreters, ASL teachers and Deaf Education teachers. I have also gotten a lot of feedback from other students who were able to use the language in other jobs (stores, restaurants, etc.). They were excited to be able to help someone communicate who otherwise would have had to rely on reading lips or writing notes. During my teaching career, I worked on curriculum writing committees multiple times at the district level. In an effort to incorporate new teaching techniques and update the curriculum, we worked extensively to maintain its relevance. I also served on the board of the Houston Area Teachers of Foreign Languages (HATFL) as the ASL chairperson for several years. I was elected President of the HATFL board, and served in that office for two years.
