Conquering the Core Classroom: Providing Classroom Staff Education and Support Remotely

In our fast-paced world of technology and ever-changing demands, it is often difficult to support teachers and speech-language pathologists on the journey to mastering core language in the classroom.  Traditional models for providing staff support to team members consist of in-person training and consultation.  However, current schedules and staff demands limit these opportunities.

This presentation will review a self-paced remote training model for staff to increase knowledge/skills in core language implementation.  All participants reported gains in their own self-efficacy and skills and gains in students’ expressive communication skills (verbally and non-verbally).  Implications for application of similar models will be discussed.
