Interpreting Math Signs in ASL for K-12 settings

0.3 CEUs, PS

There is increasing importance being placed on the role mathematics signs play in teaching and learning in the classroom. Many interpreters and teachers have different signs for certain mathematics terms and it is possible that a lack of standardization may influence learning. Interpreters and teachers will be focused on the future of interpreting/teaching as it pertains to diversity in language and culture, and as put into interpreting/teaching practice in mathematics.

American Sign Language has always played a large part in my life. I started my career with teaching ASL to students in a college classroom setting. After completing my math degree, I was able to teach math to signing students. After a while, I realized the importance of working with signers on their communication needs. Recently, I have shifted my focus on becoming an advocate in the city of Seattle and surrounding communities ensuring that communication needs of the signing community are being met. I have worked in a range of settings from deaf interpreting to instructing ASL. I enjoy sharing my immense knowledge of communication advocacy with professional people and the signers.
