I guess it would vary on the state, the city, the school, etc...

Some schools treat ASL classes as a real college class while some places treat ASL classes as a simple "elective" that is considered insignificant.

For instance, I knew an interpreter who was also an ASL teacher at her local college. Her salary was the same. For instance, she interprets for 20 hours a week at $1,000 a week (I don't know the actual pay). Or... she interprets for 18 hours a week and teaches for 2 hours a week... but still gets paid $1,000 a week.

At RIT, they have ASL workshops and classes for free and the teachers are there voluntarily... not for pay.
