ASL Certification

[TillyCopley]

Hello, What is the fastest and approved method to becoming a certified ASL teacher for PowerSchool? I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and graduated in 2018 as a Deaf Support Specialist.  I have taught Signing Naturally ASL1 for 3 years and am starting my second year teaching Signing Naturally 7-9 this year to homeschoolers. I would like to teach ASL virtually and feel that I have the experience and references to prove that I can do it well.

Hi @TillyCopley 

Thank you for the query!

Currently, the American Sign Language Certification training is not offered by PowerSchool. However, we encourage other PowerSchool Community members to share their insights on this topic if they had any prior experience.

I would welcome any help. I have heard of Texas Teachers but I would have to pay them back about $5000 once I am placed in a school district. I was wondering if there was a less expensive route.  May all you teachers out there have a fantastic year as you teach students and impact not only them but their family tree for generations to come!
