🎧 New Podcast Episode: Expanding Communication in Our Classrooms
What does it look like when students learn to communicate in more than one way?
In our latest episode, host Katie LaPira sits down with Lacey Spring Elementary principal Tammy May and JMU professor Melissa Nguyen to explore how American Sign Language (ASL) is being introduced in elementary classrooms, and the impact is inspiring.
From building confidence and supporting reading development to fostering inclusion and meaningful connections, ASL is helping students communicate in powerful new ways. Even our youngest learners are discovering how movement, expression, and visual language can open doors.
✨ You’ll also hear:
• How ASL supports students of all abilities
• Simple ways families can practice at home
• What the future of this initiative could look like in our schools
This conversation highlights how communication can bring us closer together across classrooms and across our community.
