Chapters & learning objectives
1. The SCERTS Planning Grid
Chapter one presents the SCERTS Planning Grid as a tool for ensuring that selected priorities in SC and ER goals are systematically addressed by ensuring that TS are planned and embedded across daily routines. A sample SCERTS Planning Grid will be presented for each of the three developmental stages in the SCERTS Model.
2. SCERTS in Action - A Case Study
Chapter two introduces a case study for the participant to practice getting started with implementation, a process referred to as SCERTS in Action. The first steps of getting started are reviewed by showing video illustrations to determine a child’s developmental stage and engage in Observation and Action Planning.
3. SCERTS in Action - Initial Data
Chapter three presents a tool for gathering baseline data, allowing participants to begin the process of selecting goals and supports and the creation of an individualized educational plan that is focused on the key priorities of a child at a specific developmental stage.
4. SCERTS in Action - Program Planning
The final chapter of this course presents the creation of an educational planning grid for Nahui, a tool which indicates where each goal will be addressed and what transactional supports will be embedded in those natural routines. Next, an opportunity is provided to see changes in TS that Nahui’s team implemented to foster his social competence as a Language Partner.
