Support for British Sign Language teachers

This web space was created especially for Deaf British Sign Language Teachers. The information is in BSL and English.

The website is geared towards those BSL teachers working in FE and skills sector. The information is divided in to four sections.

• The first section deals with quality training. This covers questions such as how you become a teacher, what are the necessary skills and how do you go about acquiring the qualifications. A range of information is also provided about who is involved in the training of teachers and the process that allows you to then go on and teach BSL in line with IFL - The Institute for Foreign Languages.
  
  
• The second part deals with resources, materials and information used to teach BSL and how this forms part of the curriculum that is currently followed nationally. You will also find information about assessments and who the awarding bodies are.  
  
  
• The third section where development is on-going focuses on BSL teacher networks.This section currently provides information about different organisations and networks and contact details.
  
  
• The fourth and final section provides other information such as quality assurance and other websites you can visit which offer useful information.
