ASL Back to School Night
  • Due to time, if you have any questions please email me: ajust@rocklinusd.org
  • This presentation will be available on your student's Schoology.

Slide 1 - Diapositive

Ashley Just
  • 4th year teaching at WHS
  • 6th year in Education 
  • Degree in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies from Sacramento State University 
  • Teaching credential from Brandman University
  • I come from a family of teachers

Slide 2 - Diapositive

ASL I, II, III
Students in ASL I, II, and III are learning the basics and foundation of American Sign Language. The World Language Department uses the California State Standards for World Language.

When students complete all levels of ASL, they will be able to:
  •  Have an understanding of the Deaf community, history, culture, art, and poetry. 
  • Participate and understand conversations in ASL as well as storytelling.
  •  Become global citizens

Slide 3 - Diapositive

Success in ASL
When students perform the following they are successful in my class and the language:
  • Complete work in a timely manner (check Schoology regularly)
  • Communicate with teacher
  • Have an open mind 
  • Try their best
  • Ask questions (if they don’t ask questions they risk falling behind)
  • Practicing daily with lessonup (I provide the links in Schoology)
  • Participate in class 
  • Come prepared to class
  • Staying engaged and focused - ASL is a visual language, therefore I have to have their attention at all times.

Slide 4 - Diapositive

Late Work
  • Students will receive no higher than a C on late work.
  • All missing work needs to be completed within the same “unit window.” 
  • Communication is essential, if students are communicating with me. I’m here to support and help them!  

Slide 5 - Diapositive

Assessments
Students will have quizzes, tests, and projects throughout each Unit. This is 60% of their grade.

What do assessments look like? 
  • Receptive (understanding what is being signed) and Expressive (signing, students will sign to me) Assessment.
  • Students will be provided with a graphic organizer, time to practice in class, and the opportunity to receive feedback from their peers and me.   

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Grading
  • GRADING CATEGORIES:
Assessments* (tests, quizzes, projects) = 60%
Participation/Assignments = 40%
  • GRADING SCALE:
     A = 90 -100%
     B = 80 - 89%
     C = 70- 79%
(Below 70% is a “No Mark”) 

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Absent
  • When students are absent it is their responsibility to check-in/contact me to makeup any work missed. 
  • Students need to check Schoology daily and complete the lessonup lesson linked in the Weekly Agenda.
  • Daily agendas as well as all assignments can be found on Schoology. Lessons can be found on lessonup. Students have access to this 24 hours a day.

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Materials
MATERIALS:
  • Computer (If you do not have access to technology, please contact the WHS front office.)
  • Large chisel-point dry erase markers (optional)
  • Composition book/notebook
  • Pencils / highlighters /pens 

Slide 9 - Diapositive

Syllabus
  • Please keep an eye out for the syllabus. Your student should be showing this to you as well as completing the Syllabus Acknowledgement Google Form together. Students were instructed in class to complete this with their parent/guardian (there is a section where you will sign)
  • Syllabus located on Schoology.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

No Voices
  • During portions of the class, there are activities that require students to sign and not talk (talking during class will result in lost points). This is culturally appropriate.
  • This will prepare students for College level courses/classes where the professor or teacher may be Deaf or hard of hearing. 
  • Students are asked not to talk unless permission is given by the teacher. 
  • Students will know if we are in English or ASL by the colored lights at the front of the room. 
  • ASL is not English. ASL has its own linguistics and structure. Speaking and signing simultaneously will cause confusion (it's as if you were trying to speak Spanish or French at the same time as speaking English).

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Questions?
  • Due to time, if you have any questions please email me: ajust@rocklinusd.org
  • I encourage students to share this language with their friends and family (it also helps them practice and gain confidence)
  • If your student needs help, please have them contact me! 
  • I truly want every student to be successful in my class, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
