Sioux Falls School Expands American Sign Language Program
Tumblr media
The Sioux Falls School District’s (SFSD’s) recent move to expand its American Sign Language program addresses an important aspect of the D/HoH lifestyle. Deaf educator Colleen Barber sees the initiative as a significant boon to her community. Before the new policy was implemented, she was the only person teaching ASL. But this time there's one other American Sign Language instructor. And seeing the program expand, Ms. Barber is hopeful with regards to ASL’s future in her community.
Within past years, high school students could only get just one single year of language credits from studying ASL. At this time, with the addition of American Sign Language level 3 and 4 classes, students can satisfy their particular second language requirements with ASL solely
The SFSD‘s Rebecca Wimmer states that responding to the community’s diverse needs is progressively important as the city of Sioux Falls develops. A majority of these needs would be the necessities of Deaf and Hard-of-hearing students. For that reason, the School District has expanded its ASL program to benefit these learners and hearing students. “For our high school students, we [need to] prepare them for that next phase of life, make sure that they’re getting access to college programs, that they have career readiness skills,” Ms. Wimmer adds.
The Advantages of Expanding American Sign Language Programs
Social Advantages
Offering hearing pupils the possibility to consider ASL courses promotes greater inclusivity in the schools along with nearby local communities at the same time. Learning ASL as a second language furthermore widens the scope of hearing students’ social networks to involve people in the D/HoH populace.
Likewise, teaching American Sign Language in public schools offers D/HoH learners several added possibilities to have interaction with their hearing classmates.
Cognitive Benefits
Numerous studies have established that learning a whole new language enhances cognitive processes, which leads to greater academic achievement and increased chances for career success.
Creative thinking
Mental flexibility
Problem-solving skills
Listening skills
Abstract reasoning
Additional Benefits
Communicating in a visual way like signing improves students’ spatial awareness, visual sensitivity, and ability to mentally rotate an object and view it from various perspectives.
Employment Opportunities
Mastering ASL as a second language increases students’ employment opportunities. By way of sign language interpreting and teaching to speech audiology and pathology, the range of work opportunities regarding American Sign Language is enormous.
Beyond the many incentives that American Sign Language programs provide individual D/HoH and hearing students, they also benefit communities. For this reason, at least 35 states currently acknowledge ASL as being a modern language in their school systems. And more and more US colleges and universities offer ASL courses.
