ASL EDU: Virtual Symposium
The ASL EDU: Virtual Symposium is one of our professional development events that we offer annually, and we are excited to host our fourth virtual symposium online webinar series this July 17 – 18, 2026.
Our symposiums bring together scholars and educators to examine new content ideas, approaches to resolving challenges, and collaborate live with colleagues to enhance the student learning experience in ASL classrooms. It promises to be a stimulating two days of talks, workshops, and discussions that foster a deeper understanding of teachers’ roles in students’ language learning.
We welcome all educators, including ASL teachers, mentors, administrators, and interpreters, to attend the ASLTA’s second symposium! Your diverse perspectives and experiences are highly valued and will enrich our discussions.
All webinar sessions and social events will be conducted through Zoom.
