EDU-763 Assessment and Individualized Planning in ASL/English Bilingual Early Childhood

Course Overview

This course will address individualized planning for language and emergent literacy development that can be used as a guide for teaching and learning interventions to support a child’s linguistic competence in American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Candidates will apply various American Sign Language (ASL) and English assessment tools to explore ways of assessing diverse deaf and hard-of-hearing candidates’ language and literacy acquisition and learning at home and at school. Based on the results of these assessments, the Candidates will reflect on and identify the bilingual methodology approaches to meet the ASL and English language and literacy needs of candidates. They will apply these strategies to home plan, lesson and unit planning, and within their settings.
