Sign Language – Classroom Books

SUPPORTING DIVERSITY IN THE INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM: Everyday Signs

Interactive Video Books to Support Inclusion

This project was done in collaboration with various stakeholders including a Deaf ASL teacher. It is intended to be used as a resource to aid in communication, classroom function, and to model appropriate signs. This resource is not intended to be used to teach American Sign Language. If you are interested in learning American Sign Language here are some recommendations:

Vancouver Community College

University of British Columbia

Island Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center

Additionally please keep in mind that it is most appropriate to learn American Sign Language from a Deaf ASL teacher.
