Smart Goals made easy

Aug 15, 2018 by

Hey SLPs If you are thinking about your personal “smart goal” for the next school year you might want to check out my site on Teachers Pay Teachers.   A few years back the SLPs in my district were asked to put together a short in-service for teaching assistants about the role of the SLP in schools, students we work with and how they can support language development in the classroom. This was to satisfy one of our “smart goal” requirements.  Since I did put a little bit of work into it I decided to make it available on TPT.  The in-service is titled Speech and Language Services In Schools In-service for Teaching Assistants.  It is made up of a presenter’s packet and a packet for participants.  The in-service is appropriate for all levels through middle school. ...

Teresa Just a thought:  I was speaking to a non-teacher friend...
