Sign language is used in many classrooms to support classroom management strategies and routines. Infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age classrooms everywhere use simple to complex signs in order to signal bathroom breaks, lining up, greetings and more.
Basic sign language can be used in the classroom in many ways. While it will take some time to practice and perfect the signs, there are ways to include them in daily activities and routines which do not require fluency.
