2006 Summer Institute at UW-Milwaukee CANCELLED
The 2006 ASL Summer Institute at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
has been cancelled due to lack of participation. We were reluctant to
cancel our program in its first year, but we are hopeful that we have
sparked interest and will be able to offer the ASL Summer Institute next
year.
If you are interested in receiving your license to teach ASL as a
foreign language, we are happy to announce that beginning in the fall
semester of 2006, UWM will offer a certification program. This ASL
Teacher Certification Program will lead to a regular license from the
Department of Public Instruction. Information about this certification
program will be available this summer.
