Class description

Description

Taking what students have learned in previous class, we will continue adding new vocabulary, and we will build conversations to increase fluency in both signing and reading signs.  Students will develop fluency through signing with each other, story-telling, voicing ASL, and interpreting songs, and portions of sermons and lessons.

Classes are limited to 10 students so that the Teacher can engage each student and ensure that signs are being done correctly.  Classes are LIVE, not recorded.  Interaction is in real time, not videoed and sent to the teacher.  Classes are FUN and engaging.  Students are able to make friends and give and receive encouragement.

Parental feedback will be given monthly. Assignments for work outside the classroom will be given weekly so that the students can further develop their understanding of deafness, deaf culture, deaf education, interpretation, etc.  This  class will also have guest speakers, such as deaf adults, interpreters, missionaries for the Deaf and Deaf Pastors.

About the instructors

Hi. I'm Carroll Sue, and I love hearing about how someone made their dream come true. Success stories are my fuel. When I meet someone who doesn't know how to reach their own goals or even what those goals could be, I like to work with him or her to develop a path to Success. My husband, Philip, and I homeschooled and graduated our children, as well as others through the years. We have taught kids with no learning challenges, as well as kids with severe Dyslexia, Autism, and Developmental Delays. I teach two different course paths here: Sign Language and Business. Sign Language is my Life-Long-Love. I took my first Sign class when I was 6 years old, and just kept learning more and more each year. I started teaching Sign when I was 17, and have taught it ever since. I was an interpreter for many years, serving in different churches, the community, schools and for various conferences and concerts. American Sign Language is its own language and is considered a Foreign Language for those whose first language is spoken. In my classes, I teach conversational Sign, as well as History of Deaf Culture in America and around the world; the significance of ASL in modern society; the work of Deaf Pastors and Missionaries, those who minister in Deaf communities, and how we may also get involved in sharing the Gospel to those who are deaf and hard of hearing (did you know that less than 1% of Deaf people world-wide have been taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ?). I teach Introduction, Intermediate and Preparing to Interpret. My Business Stuff... I have my Master's degree in Human Resource Management, with a concentration in Career Development. I have taught at Montreat College, near Asheville, NC, for more than 20 years. My favorite courses to teach are Entrepreneurship, Management and Servant Leadership (where we study the Leadership of Christ). I also have a Business called Launched.Life where I work with individuals to create their own Career and Academic Maps, and with Entrepreneurs to develop Business Plans so they can start their own business. I teach three Business courses here: Career Launch (Middle School Explorers and High School Travelers), Business Launch (for budding Entrepreneurs), and Lead like Jesus. Hope we get a chance to learn together soon. ~Carroll Sue

Our daughter looked forward to Mrs. Priddy's class each week with enthusiasm. This class was engaging, challenging and FUN. Mrs. Priddy's classes are excellent and I would highly recommend this class.

My kids really enjoyed the class and learned a lot in this small class setting.
