Publish Date: March 18, 2025

On March 1, Crafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College proudly co-hosted the 10th Annual ASL Educators Collaboration Conference at San Bernardino Valley College. This milestone event was the largest yet, with 120 registered participants and five dedicated student volunteers.

The conference featured five workshop sessions across three tracks, offering a total of 14 presentations led by faculty from institutions throughout California. While most attendees were from within the state, event organizers were thrilled to welcome several out-of-state participants. Notably, the registration website received international engagement, highlighting the growing global interest in ASL education and this conference.

A key highlight of this year’s event was the strong emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in ASL pedagogy. It was inspiring to see educators collectively committed to fostering inclusive learning environments that prioritize accessibility and representation. The high level of engagement and scholarly exchange underscored a shared dedication to advancing ASL education and ensuring equitable language access for diverse communities.
