CORE in the Secondary Classroom

This is a great article from a high school SPED teacher and how she incorporates CORE vocabulary into her classroom.  She saw the same communication challenges you all do with kids with different experiences with language and systems and tried to find a unifying system she could use with her whole class!  Hello CORE!!  She recognized that she was looking at functional skills as well as communication and found cooking a great place to start!  Check it out!

(Good article for all levels - but love that it is from the secondary world!)

Would love to hear how your secondary campus uses CORE or plans to use it this year!

Informed SLP Grammar Guide

Hey everyone!  The Informed SLP just released a free resource on their blog to help SLPs with targeting grammar forms in the therapy.  They've compiled a spreadsheet called "Grammatical Concepts of English: Suggested Order of Intervention." I've copied the link for the blog post below, and you can find the spreadsheet here . The Informed SLP Blog post:  https://www.theinformedslp.com/how-to/grammar-chart They do explain in the blog post that there are " no systematic studies have yet been completed that show which order of intervention is most effective." Even though this is the case, they've used the research that is available to try to describe logical sequences for targets. They  describe  how the information in the spreadsheet is organized  in the bl og post .  It looked like it could be helpful, so I thought it was worth sharing! -Janie

MSB Goals

Hey everyone! As I have been progress monitoring my students' goals, I noticed that sometimes the goals in MSB do not match the goals on their progress reports in esped. I was under the impression that MSB updated every day and would pull in esped goals. I'm not sure where some of the goals I've been submitting data for came from, because according to esped, my students don't have those things as goals. I hope that makes sense. Has this happened to anyone else?  Help! Lori
