How do school-based SLPs tie their services to the state educational standards? This course will acquaint SLPs to educational standards and help them tie their services to what is educationally relevant for students. A variety of service delivery models will be discussed, and participants will be encouraged to collaborate with teachers to provide educationally relevant services in the least restrictive environment. Participants will use case studies to select relevant standards, goals, and service delivery options using math and English language arts educational standards.

Chapters & learning objectives

Overview of Educational Standards

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.

Extended Content Standards

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.

Where Do We Fit In?

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.

Planning SLP Goals and Interventions

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.

Applying Knowledge to Case Studies

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.

Applying Knowledge to Science, Social Studies, and Math Content

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.
