I was shocked when the lady said they group signs by parts of the body. It seems so effective to learn. I understood the concept right away, I would love to learn signs that way. I hope they make that method more readily available.
Learning groups of signs by their location on the body might be a good way to do it... but the teacher was using it in a different way It's more the other way around. It's for learning written English words from ASL signs. The children already know the signs but needed a way to be able to find the English words easily on the word wall to be able to write them during activities.
Awesome video, such great information. Side note, I am always humbled by my meager signing skills when I watch two deaf people interact. I really see how much my friends slow down for me.
omg I was on campus volunteering that day and I remember seeing them filming this! it was a long time ago... around February. Im in the background of the vid too! cool!
I wasn't eligible to go to a Deaf school, but they seem to have most of what I needed and didn't get in school. It's cool they have those opportunities.
Can the kindergarten teacher please create a TH-cam channel lol I’ve been learning a bit of sign language since I have deaf customers in the pharmacy where I work. Her technique seems to really break it down!

I am glad to see you back on TH-cam. With the Instagram videos if I miss something I have to watch the entire video again. TH-cam videos allow me to pause, rewind a few frames and slow down the videos. Being able to rewind, repeat a small section of what I missed as well as being able to slow down the video helps tremendously. Thank you.
I love how they teach English. So cool. Using A for Apple is based on phonetics vs the visual location of signs to the body. WOW!! Love that idea. Makes sense.
Not all signs are iconic... so be prepared to find another way to remember.. using your current vocab is great and seek out meeting DEAF ppl is th e best.
I don't just watch your videos, I study them. I go back again and again looking for small, easily missed details. I noticed at about minute 12 that your eyes are mostly looking at the signers eyes just like I would look at a speakers eyes when they talk. I guess one of my preconceptions was you would have to constantly watch hands not faces. So many fascinating things to learn. Thank you Ashley.
I don't know ASL but I was told that signs with a lot of detail are usually located nearer the face and signs that are far away from the face tend to be big signs you can see easily while still looking at someone's face. It made so much sense when I heard that.
Great tour and showing the benefits of a school for the Deaf! 6 years later, it would be cool to see an update on the school, its renovations and where are the students now that were in high school then. Just an idea
I remember going to a basketball game at the school and watching the deaf athletes play a game. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life because those kids had to pay attention to each other. They did better than the hearing teams. I loved it. It was so cool watching all the parents in that deaf fans cheer for their team.
Ashley, I have been following you on IG for a while and just heard about your TH-cam vlog. Thanks for putting all of these together! I love watching all the interviews. I’ve just gotten to the point where I can understand most of the interactions with sound and captions off. So interesting!!
So happy to see you uploading another video! I loved your previous ones teaching words and phrases and I took your teachable course. Hope to see more ☺️
Thank you so much for this video it has broadened my perspective vastly. I feel like it is helping me feel more connected with deaf/hard of hearing culture- as a hearing person on the autism spectrum I am honestly a little disappointed I was never taught sign language as a matter of course. While it is true that I can hear there are so many things related to socializing with others that would have been so much easier for me if I could simply have been taught what I thought of as “ the language of gesture “. I feel far more connected to body language arts now that I have decided to learn sign language and pay closer attention to Sign Language Arts. I think I am even learning how to walk without accidentally communicating unwanted signals unconsciously ( maybe?) This school seems absolutely magical and I am so excited for all the students directing their own studies there. I want to make a Velcro sign wall for the students at the place I work. 🌈🧠
Great concept of combining the sign for the word Mom and the Printed word. This technique always uses many parts of the brain at once and increases retention. Just like a teacher going over the alphabet and also sounding out the letter at the same time.
I’ve been learning ASL for the last 4 years. It started with my working as a group home manager supporting individuals with special needs. A couple of my individuals were deaf. I wanted to communicate simple things like favorite foods etc. 4 years later I’m able to hold conversation. I struggle with my receptive skills however. Native signers sight very quickly, and sign spaces are often small and often times deviate from exact placement in ASL. For example and word that may call for being signed near the head like “know” or “remember” might by a native signer be signed much lower no where near the head but amongst native signers is understood within the sign space being used. That being said, my signing is not perfect or native, and my vocabulary and grammatical proficiency growing along the way, but im grateful for the opportunity to meet and get to know more wonderful people I might otherwise might now get to know because of a language barrier.
i'm born deaf and i got chochlear implant at age 3 and i can speak and hear very well, my first sign language was (latvian language) and i grew up i got used to speak and hear so my famly don't use sign language anymore i forgot a few sign language, i meat a friend which inspired me to learn sign languge (russian) and i'm still learning. Right now i'm learning asl all by myself and this video really inspired me to learn sign language and i wish i could go to study in deaf school to improve my asl and signing skills. :)) i'm now 18.yrs old and studying in college (hearing). I love the videos ure making!
Please do an on campus tour of Riverside. My little boy is 10 months old. We live in HB. I have heard amazing things about the Fremont school but not so much about Riverside
Oh my lands!!! If only i could learn as a hearing person to learn sign languange by the part of the body it is signed...wow!!! This amazed me!! Awesome that someone thought out of the box.
You see, people? The need to see people as human beings first and treat them accordingly is not a matter of opinion and certainly should not be a matter of personal or even group policy. It is a matter of culture. It is essential that we agree to these things both as communities, for the sake of living together, and as a human race, for the sake of society and humanity and life itself.
this is so awesome. ty so much for the tour.; o always wanted see a deaf school and find out how children were taught . i love how that's presented. signs for different parts of the body. that's even easier than I thought be. now how do they go about the small conversations with words/signs?
This school is provides a great model for how mainstream schools can honor the cultures of their students and use that culture to empower and engage them!
I like this. Very informative. But I thought it was going to be a tour of both. Not just the School for the Deaf talking about what they do that is different. I would like to see a video that shows how that is.
I want to properly appreciate this so I must ask, how is this a preferred option to subtitles? Is it the emotive quality of the interpreter that makes it superior or just the idea of representation that's got her so excited?
I am just starting to learn ASL for my career in EMS as well my career as a caregiver for deaf/blind + Your videos have been a huge help while I wait for my actual ASL classes to begin in the next two weeks. What can you suggest that will help me be successful while I learn and apply ASL in everyday activities?
This is an awesome video! I would love to have the opportunity to do a tour at the Deaf school in my state! I’ve been signing for 11 years & still feel like I’m learning everyday. Thanks again for the video! (P.S. It took me a second to realize Andy was doing the voice interpreting, but I finally got it lol!)
I am a Native Hawaiian. My 8 year old daughter attends a school that only speaks the Hawaiian language. She knows basic sign language. I also have a 2 year old that knows basic ASL but is not deaf. I feel that ASL can bridge all cultures and people together. Would it be wrong for me to have my 2 year old to learn ASL at our local deaf and blind school? We have an aunt who’s completely deaf as well.
Why would ASL or any other sign language bridge all cultures any more than a spoken language? Sign languages are as diverse as plentiful as spoken ones. Although they are beautiful and I think teaching the local sign language to all school children is a great idea.
I guess it's 2 years ago so you decided by now, but it would depend on the policies of the Deaf school. Maybe they have limited places and need to save them for Deaf kids, or maybe they have extra spaces and would love to have hearing kids.
("our own privileges our own we know we're white we have education") What does being white have to do with anything the sign displayed right on the side of you clearly says no prejudice. I respect the drive to strive you teach because I know how unempathetic the world is just please understand and thank you for never giving up and innovating those marvelous minds at this wonderful school ✌️&🤟 to you all
My son had more speach than othe deaf students because he had cochlear implants but they hated that fact that he could speak and made him go back one year !
Hi! Just FYI, the subtitles for this video are off. It would be great if they could match what the narrator is saying so viewers can turn off the sound and just watch. :) Love this!
Maybe fundraisers, sporting events, and other events open to the public. BUT, blabbing away in a 'deaf space', especially if you are not making any attempt to simcom, is really rude and you won't make friends very well that way.
I absolutely love seeing things like this on TH-cam. It's so valuable for people to be aware of different languages, abilities, experiences, challenges, etc. One thing I was not happy to see was the teacher who said they point out privileges like being white. That can not only be detrimental to self esteem (which I've seen first hand), but is also misinformation. That's really disheartening to see such a powerfully negative message being taught to impressionable children. I still love these videos!
I knew deaf schools are very good because deaf children benefit much more for sign language and mainstream schools don’t provide sign language because hearing children in hearing families don’t sign. In Britain much worse because of funding from government doesn’t support deaf children and very very few deaf teachers is the problem.
BSL isn't used in the US, so that would only happen if a Deaf family had just immigrated to the US and not had time to learn ASL yet. I wonder if that's ever happened... Most hearing schools have kids sometimes come who don't speak english and they give them some extra help but mostly they just pick it up by being immersed in the environment. I don't imagine it would be much different with two signed languages than it is with two spoken ones.
Im not understand why you (jac cook) bully me in school and cruel on me. Now u more make children sweet. Hmmmmm u bully me for your rewards??? How digusted are you??

Mainstream school are schools that are not deaf schools.

@@chloem.3500 schools lead by hearing people. like most schools.
omg I was on campus volunteering that day and I remember seeing them filming this! it was a long time ago... around February. Im in the background of the vid too! cool!
Currently in the process of getting my daughter into this pre kindergarten program! Thank you for the video.
I wasn't eligible to go to a Deaf school, but they seem to have most of what I needed and didn't get in school. It's cool they have those opportunities.
May I ask why you were eligible?
@@microbiologist50 I'm interested in that too
Genius... Teaching ASL as it is related to regions of the head and body.
Yes! Genius!
Can the kindergarten teacher please create a TH-cam channel lol

I completely agree, she definitely needs to be teaching on TH-cam.
😊☺
Yes the kindergarten teacher's ideas and processes are awesome!!! Please start a TH-cam channel!!!!
What do they mean by mainstream schools?
I just started learning ASL so this is so helpful! ^^
That’s a great school. Thanks for showing it n spreading our language so survival continues with our young ones. Hoping for more videos.
Wow this was amazing so much information. My son attends Marlton School for the deaf. Best decision ever made!
All. World. Many. Deaf. School. How.
😧😛☹
Make me feel old. I go to CSDF and I graduated 1991. I like see new idea for kids learning skills in the classroom.
I love seeing Miss Joan explain signs being categorized by sign location. I may have to look up a similar framework, makes so much sense this way.
YOU'RE BACK ON TH-cam!!❤❤ YAAY

Absolutely love how inclusive this school is. Hearing schools could really take a page from them!
This is just a great school, period! I wish all other schools would follow the student led philosophy.
What do they mean by mainstream schools? Do they mean mostly hearing schools?

Great video! Too bad they did'nt show the students and there way of lessons. maybe a nice idea for a part 2.
that's because the parents want to protect their child's privacy

What a great lesson!

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE DEAF SCHOOL THAT WAS SO LOUD THAT ALL THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WENT DEAF!!!?
This dude just said more with his hands than I have expressed verbal in months. I would just keep singing "waffle town!"
my child is deaf and would love to come attend/study there
awesome video!!! well done
I want to properly appreciate this so I must ask, how is this a preferred option to subtitles? Is it the emotive quality of the interpreter that makes it superior or just the idea of representation that's got her so excited?

Because of hypocrisy and double standards. You can pigeonhole, generalize and stereotype a whole race as long as they are white.
My son had more speach than othe deaf students because he had cochlear implants but they hated that fact that he could speak and made him go back one year !
Do you think a deaf child would benefit from homeschooling by her Grammy who will be fluent in ASL?
Yes
Hi! Just FYI, the subtitles for this video are off. It would be great if they could match what the narrator is saying so viewers can turn off the sound and just watch. :) Love this!
You are beautiful, thanks for sharing
How are they dealing with the pandemic outbreak? I'm curious
What if what is reflected in the books is more inclusive than the community itself?
Do you have days where the school is open to hearing students? If you have someone who doesn't know any sign do you have someone turn their voice on?
Maybe fundraisers, sporting events, and other events open to the public. BUT, blabbing away in a 'deaf space', especially if you are not making any attempt to simcom, is really rude and you won't make friends very well that way.
If they had visitors who didn't sign then I assume they'd have an interpreter. If you're there for longer though you would have to learn sign.
Cool!

Q: What about students who sign BSL? How do you help them learn ASL & English?
