Use this ready-to-run training deck to build a shared understanding of what an exemplary ASL/English Bilingual classroom looks like, and to align expectations across your team. It walks through five parts of a strong classroom environment: visual access, so students can clearly see the teacher, their peers, and materials; genuine recognition of both ASL and English; Deaf culture woven into everyday learning; a classroom library that features Deaf authors and characters; and an accessible, welcoming climate. Built-in reflection activities help teams put each idea into practice, with links to related tools on the hub.
