Bringing ASL to Your School or District

Max Castagnoli1 min read

Demand for ASL in secondary schools has outrun the supply of certified instructors by a wide margin. Districts that want to offer it are usually stuck between an unstaffed course and no course at all. Signpost is allowing schools and districts to arm one teacher with enough tooling to teach hundreds of kids at different skill levels.

Fitting into what you already run

Signpost ships with full LTI 1.3 support, so lessons are placed directly into Canvas, Blackboard, or Schoology. Students roster automatically and grades flow back into the gradebook your teachers already use. There is no separate account system to administer.

Measuring progress honestly

Because every sign a student performs is scored by the model, progress is measured on actual signing rather than on multiple-choice recall. That gives a department head something defensible to report, and gives students feedback on the days a teacher cannot reach everyone.

Stop practicing in the dark.

Signpost watches your hands through your webcam and tells you, in real time, whether your sign is right. Try the free demo, no sign-up needed.
