ASL/English Curriculum Overview Tip Sheet

Curriculum shapes what students learn and how they grow academically, linguistically, and culturally. This tip sheet is a quick reference to what intentional ASL/English bilingual curriculum looks like across content areas and grade levels. Strong practice brings together both deaf and hard of hearing specific and general education curricula, aligns to grade-level standards while meeting students where they are developmentally, and is ASL/English bilingual, using each language as a tool for learning. Deaf culture, history, and perspectives run throughout, and materials stay flexible and accessible so every student can engage and achieve. Use it as a quick reference for strong curriculum practice.
