Congratulations to our recent graduates!
"I recently took the signing leader certificate level 1 ASL course from Jenny and absolutely loved it. I took ASL in high school years ago but this reignited my love for ASL and Deaf culture. If you have wanted to learn ASL, take the class from her, you won’t regret it! In this accelerated experience, you learn so much and go deeper than I thought we could’ve in just five weeks. Now I can communicate with Deaf people and feel confident doing so."

"I’ve always had an interest in learning ASL and supporting the Deaf community in some way, especially because I work with students who have limited communication and use ASL as a tool to communicate.ASL is such a beautiful language and Professor Jenny is a fantastic teacher. I was little intimidated and nervous learning a new language, especially ASL because I’m older and wasn’t confident about my ability to pick up the signs quickly or adequately enough, however Jenny made learning ASL easy to learn and understand. She covered each sign we learned so thoroughly and took the time to go over everything we learned each week and reviewed things that we were unsure about each class. She also encouraged questions and was open to chat with you 1:1 if you had specific questions or concerns about anything. I’m so glad I took this signing course. I learned so much in 5 weeks and feel confident that I could have a beginning conversation in ASL with someone who is Deaf."

How ASL Helps Children Communicate Earlier
Young children often understand language before they are able to speak it. For many children, the physical ability to produce spoken words develops later than their ability to think, understand, and communicate ideas. American Sign Language provides young children with a visual and physical way to express their needs, thoughts, and feelings during this stage of development.
Using simple signs allows children to communicate basic messages such as more, help, eat, drink, all done, and please before they are able to say the words verbally. This early communication can reduce frustration for children and caregivers while supporting positive social interactions in the classroom.
In early childhood classrooms, sign language can be especially helpful for children who are:
Research and classroom experience both show that using sign language alongside spoken language can support language development rather than delay it. When educators model simple signs while speaking, children begin connecting visual language with spoken words, strengthening their overall communication skills.
By introducing American Sign Language in everyday classroom routines, educators give children an additional tool to express themselves, participate in learning, and build confidence in communication.
At Signing Courses, we believe that every educator deserves to feel confident communicating through American Sign Language. That is why we proudly stand behind The Signing Leader™ Certification.
We guarantee that upon successful completion of the certification—including participation in live instruction, completion of all required coursework, and passing the final performance assessment—you will have the knowledge, confidence, and practical communication skills to hold a meaningful, real-world conversation with a Deaf individual using American Sign Language.
As part of your certification, every participant completes a live conversational assessment with a Deaf instructor. This is not simply a written test—it is an authentic conversation designed to ensure you can apply your skills confidently in real-life situations.
In addition to developing conversational ASL skills, you will master the Signing Courses Method™ and learn how to confidently integrate American Sign Language into everyday classroom routines and interactions. You will understand how to use signs intentionally throughout the school day to create language-rich learning environments that support communication for all children.
When you earn your Signing Leader™ Certification, you can expect to:
We are so confident in our proven teaching method that if you complete all certification requirements, actively participate in the program, and do not feel confident having a meaningful conversation with a Deaf individual or do not feel prepared to confidently implement the Signing Courses Method™ in your classroom, we will refund your tuition in full.
Our goal is not simply for you to finish a course—it is for you to become a confident Signing Leader who can communicate effectively, lead with confidence, and use ASL to enrich children's everyday learning experiences.
That is our promise.
"Communication changes lives. Confidence changes communities."
