Use this self-assessment with your leadership team to gauge how well your program lives out strong ASL/English bilingual leadership, leadership that centers American Sign Language, English, and Deaf and hard of hearing identity. It walks the team through the eight areas that define effective leadership, from vision and policy to instruction, staff evaluation, school culture, family engagement, accountability for ASL use, and resource decisions. Use it to name strengths, surface gaps, and prioritize the next steps that will move your program toward its ASL/English bilingual vision.
