2006 Summer Institute at UW-Milwaukee
Would you like to teach American Sign Language in Wisconsin Public
Schools? Then you must consider attending the 2006 Summer Institute at
the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee!
The UWM Departments of Exceptional Education and Curriculum &
Instruction are pleased to announce the 2006 Summer Institute for
teachers of ASL as a foreign language. This exciting opportunity will
include four courses that will be taught over six weeks during the
summer (June 19-July 27). The goal of this Summer Institute is to help
individuals obtain an initial teaching permit and to get students
started on coursework that can be applied toward our teacher
certification program.
The Summer Institute is a teacher permit training program. This means
that upon completion of the summer coursework, students may apply for an
initial permit to teach ASL in Wisconsin Public Schools. To obtain this
permit, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction requires that
students attend the Summer Institute, complete the American Sign
Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI) with a score of 3 or higher, and
obtain at least a Provisional level certification from the American Sign
Language Teacher Association (ASLTA).
Don’t miss out on your chance to start on the track to be an ASL
teacher! To find out if you are eligible and for more information,
