Course # 5266
Winging It: One-year Case Study of Teacher-SLP Collaboration Discourse in Classroom-Based Therapy

Very relevant to school-based workload issues.

insight and experience.

Great use of information and examples!

The presenter was well informed and provided detailed description of her research.

This is a very important topic. Inclusion and collaboration are highly successful models that are too infrequently incorporated into our education systems.

Great course, very well organized, presenter explained study well. I work in a collaborative setting so this was very informative for me.

Good definitions and examples of the interactions.

Practical ideas and examples were provided

great information about collaborative therapy/teaching

Interesting to know different ways on how to collaborate with teachers in the school--at times that could be very difficult but this course planned out a clear way on how to do that

Well organized

Examples of collaboration

Collaboration in the classroom is the new thrust for SLP's working in schools.

The course was organized. The presenter followed her Power Point note slides. The "Q1", Q2", helped thinking about test questions. Thought she left out at least "2" "Qs".

The excellent questions at the end of the seminar and the speaker's comprehensive and rich responses. It put a practical face on this topic that anyone in the schools could truly relate to.

Great information!

It inspired thought provoking questions about least restrictive environment.

The questions and answers section at the end made this course even more valuable to me. I encourage this presenter to make more presentations in future that include more of her personal experiences in collaboration. You have so much important information to share with us.

very interesting

How collaboration is done is much clearer to me now.

Nice research to support the process. As an SLP who has done a lot of collaborative work I agree strongly with the premise of the need for definition of roles. We know we have succeeded when you hear your words (questioning strategies used with the teacher/slp) being used by students in their small group work.

Lara gave specific examples of how Suggest-Accept; Suggest-Modify; Suggest-Reject; Clarify; and Exclaim/Notate would be used in a collaborative setting.

good research based content about the benefits of teacher/slp collaboration

It provided a framework for me to picture how I might provide collaborative treatment in the future.

Gave me some insight as to how to implement good collaboration with teachers

I was provided with valuable information that I can share with my collegues.

I team teach a lot. The interactions that occur match what I have seen.

Good introduction to a collaborative model.

It was excellent because examples were used and definitions of models were given.

I liked how it broke down the pieces of collaboration. She also stressed to begin small and work toward a larger program.

descriptions to ease into collaboration

The course had good ideas and suggestions - it related to my situation as an SLP in a school setting. It showed the value of joint planning. The course was well-planned and presented - easy to understand and follow. Good guidelines re: collaboration between SLPs and teachers.

The presenter was knowledgeable about the subject and had good suggestions. She also mentioned potential pitfalls in the process and things to watch for as you would prepare to use this model

The information presented was good but how she deicide what to put in the project was excess information from my point of view.

The research aspect and the experience of the presenter.

This course made me reflect on the way that I am providing services to my students in the school setting.

It confirmed what I have recently discovered when I initiated collaboration in the classroom.

The framework was well laid out and the idea of doing this is great. This course offered some ideas for how I can try to be more collaboative with the teachers I work with, just in general. Unfortunately I think there are many hurdles. For example, in this case study all of the ESE students were in one "inclusion" class. That makes doing this model much more doable. At my school, my teacher's paycheck is tied to student achievement and they would not be willing to have all of the ESE students in one classroom. I have a huge caseload and without that scenerio, there are just not enough minutes in my day for me to go to all of the classrooms. I might be able to implement this with one class and one grade level, but it would still be a hardship because I would still have to see the other students in the other classes on that grade level. They would never all be in the same classroom. I would like to be more collaborative, but still don't see how I can really apply this model in my situation.

Data was vary relatable to my field.

If you are currently collaborating, the study suggested that the likelihood of success depends upon trust and the ability to dialogue/modify during instruction.Great stuff-- also validated that collaborations does feel "on the fly"...

Well organized. Very clear presentation of data.
