Ending SCHOOL WEEK with what lights the spark of Education, Teaching. The Instructors who impart knowledge, skill, and wisdom to those open to learning. To represent the ASL hand sign for TEACH, I have a cartoon of Dom Pedro Ponce de Leon, the Spanish Benedictine monk known as “The First Teacher of the Deaf.” For his name in Deaf History, a short biography of his influence follows his cartoon image of TEACH.
The Flattened O hand shapes move back and forth from the side of the head, like a teacher taking their knowledge to give to the students.
Similar to STUDENT, the hand sign for TEACHER is a combination of two hand signs with a quick single movement of TEACH followed by the suffix AGENT (a Teaching Person).
