Welcome to Creative ASL Teaching!
I’m an American Sign Language teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience. Over the years, I’ve taught adults, community, and both the elementary and secondary levels of ASL, but my heart has truly found its home in teaching to high school students. I live in Southern California with my husband (also a teacher), our two children, an old dog, and a feral cat named Lily who has decided we’re her people.
This blog was born out of my own frustration with the limited resources and training available for ASL teachers. Too often, we’re left to create everything from scratch. My mission here is simple: to support ASL teachers in becoming more inspiring, creative, and fresh with their ideas.
Through sharing my journey—both the wins and the struggles—I hope to give you practical tools, save you prep time, and bring more joy into your classroom.
My goals are to:
Make every teacher and student excited to come to class each day.
Help you reclaim your time by providing ready-to-use resources.
Share engaging strategies that help students learn ASL more effectively.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, new classroom activities, or ways to spark creativity in your teaching, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you’re here!
