This position will design, develop, implement and teach ASL Classes for the Community which we serve. At TLC, we are home to two world-class schools serving deaf and hard of hearing students in a bilingual/bicultural setting, The Marie Philip School and The Walden School. We offer a range of community-based services that benefit deaf and hard of hearing children, adults, and their families. This position aims to build a robust, in-house ASL Classes program for our community. Community ASL classes are among our many avenues in reducing systemic barriers to serving our own and other deaf students, families, and staff in a fully linguistically-accessible, culturally-competent manner. Successful implantation of this work should produce an increased value in the perspectives, identities, communication, and contribution of ASL and Deaf Culture, and strengthen the impact of ASL acquisition to counter language deprivation among deaf and hard of hearing children in our communities.

This job will be primarily remote until it is safe for all to be on campus.
