What Our Teachers are Saying

Jennifer Ellis, Teacher

ASL is their language. That gives them the self-esteem and they have a foundation then to support their English development.

Jennifer Ellis

Work Education Teacher, Transition Needs Team

Jane Mulholland

Every deaf child can learn just the same as hearing children can. I think that is one problem is that often there are misconceptions about deaf children’s abilities.

Jane Mulholland

Former Superintendent, WSD

Shauna Bilyeu

We know that learning is a social activity. It’s social in nature. People learn from each other all the time. Children learn the fastest from their peers.

Shauna Bilyeu

Superintendent, WSD

Pamela Whitney, Pre-School Teacher

It is very crucial that the children have access to language development. A natural acquisition of language right from the very beginning.

Pamela Whitney

Pre-School Teacher

ASL-English Bilingual Program Service Director

A strong language foundation is very important for their success in life. Research shows that deaf students who have American Sign Language skills are then more successful in English.

April McArthur
