Chapters & learning objectives
1. Overview of Educational Standards
Chapter one will familiarize participants with the standards of the Common Core and other state standards in a variety of subject areas including math and English language arts in order to identify speech-language skills contained within.
2. Extended Content Standards
This chapter will discuss dynamic learning maps for students on alternative learning standards and discuss the type of student who will participate in these standards. Some activities will be presented that tie to the previously mentioned standards.
3. Where Do We Fit In?
The job of the SLP is to examine the CCSS through the lens of the SLP by identifying the specific linguistic skill deficits that prevent students from accessing the standards independently. The presenters will talk through how this can be accomplished using a sample standard.
4. Planning SLP Goals and Interventions
SLPs examine the standards, write goals tied to those standards, then plan targeted interventions to help students meet the goals in environments that represent the least restrictive environments for each individual.
5. Applying Knowledge to Case Studies
Case studies will be introduced focusing on present level of performance. Participants will work independently, then the presenters will discuss what they would do with each student and why.
6. Applying Knowledge to Science, Social Studies, and Math Content
Additional case studies that fit grade level standards in science or social studies will be discussed, and participants will plan activities based off of narrative or expository text.
7. Activity
In the final chapter of this course, Perry Flynn and Lissa Power-deFur explore additional clinical scenarios.
