Adam,

In the US, it's a mixed bag -- foreign languages aren't always
well-supported within the K-12 system -- but there are instances of ASL
courses taught within the primary and secondary schools. The organization
pushing for instructional standards within the US (and Canada?) is the
American Sign Language Teachers' Association...

http://www.aslta.org/

... and I think the Wilcoxen still maintain some material on standards and
justification ("Learning to See", etc.).

Two steps forward, one step back...

-Dan.
