ASL/English Bilingual Instruction Administrator Walkthrough Checklist

Use this checklist during a classroom visit to capture real-time evidence of intentional ASL/English bilingual instruction, which is teaching where ASL and English are each used on purpose, not mixed at random or signed and spoken simultaneously. It helps you look for clear learning objectives, planned and purposeful language use from start to finish, delivery that is visually clear and accessible, and students who actively use both languages to think, explain, and question rather than sit as passive observers. Space for strengths and coaching opportunities makes your notes the foundation for a post-observation conversation with the teacher.
