The Department of Continuing Education in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences is excited to be offering a new ASL Workshop-Communicating with the Deaf: Working with Young Children.

This five-hour workshop will introduce participants on how to use American Sign Language (ASL) in educational settings with young children (i.e. early childhood learning centres, kindergarten and preschool classes, etc.). Participants will learn strategies and techniques to use with deaf and hard of hearing children. They will also develop skills for interacting with deaf parents and family members. The ASL alphabet, numbers, basic sign language words, phrases and sentences to use when communicating with deaf children will be taught in the workshop. These skills will assist in breaking down barriers and encourage interactions between deaf, hard of hearing and hearing children.

The first workshop is on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the North Campus. The summer workshops are June 22 and August 24. These workshops are being offered at both campuses.

On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with professors Arun Dhanota and Dan Rowe about the documentary film they created here at Humber.

The Struggle Back: Through the Criminal Justice System with Addictions and Mental Illness, was created through a collaborative partnership with Police Foundations and Journalism Degree programs. The film will be used as a teaching and training tool in both the community and the college.

At the end of the day, if you want to help someone, you have to understand them. And you can’t understand them if you don’t talk to them.” – Arun Dhanota

Listen to the episode here or read the transcript here.

NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.
