Our new school district superintendent wants both students and classroom visitors to know the goals of each lesson in terms of the Georgia Performance Standards. As is often the case, fitting the important job that I do each day (yes, I believe that!) into a conventional academic framework is sometimes awkward. But I do agree that students need to know what it is that they are trying to learn. The work that I do certainly supports ALL instruction -- language is bedrock for learning. But I digress...
I hope that some fellow Georgia SLPs will find a use for the PowerPoint I created and embedded below. I had planned to display appropriate slides from it on the extra monitor hooked to my laptop as an introduction to therapy sessions , but my principal did not like that idea. Instead, I printed the slides and posted them neatly on the bulletin board. Easy enough. Not the most inspired production I've ever developed, but it seems to have met my need to communicate our learning goals in kid-friendly language. For whatever it's worth, it's here for the taking - no need to ask (follow the slideshare link to download and print). Also feel free to edit/remix. If you improve it, please share back!
