5 Minutes with Nate – a professional development vodcast in ASL for educators of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing.

This project began when I was a curriculum director at the Utah School for the Deaf in response to the lack of short, ASL trainings for educators in our field. After a hiatus and job change, we’re back!
