Carol Ross, RID Member (850)228-5776 My experiences with more than twenty years of administrative and sign language interpreting skills training have enabled me to teach American Sign Language as a Foreign Language Credit for secondary and post-secondary institutions. I have taught and/or interpreted credit and non-credit courses at Florida State University, Tallahassee Community College, Pensacola Jr. College, Lake-Sumter Community College, Chiles High School, and Tallavana Christian School. Intensive interpreter training resulted in my successful dual QA screenings in the state of Florida and Oklahoma.
