The following outlines the key
agenda components of each day of training:
Day 1
Participants will create a learning environment from an empty room in order to
prepare for the arrival of students on Day 2. Teaching teams will strategize
to develop physical structure, concrete schedules and work systems based on
student profiles. Final preparations will focus on creating structured
activities for instructional purposes.
Day 2
Participants will trouble shoot the visual structure that has been created
based upon student performance and develop a plan for the development of
communication skills.
Day 3
Participants will continue to refine the visual structure based on assessment
of the systems and communication activities. The bridge between communication
and behavior will lead us to the next topic of social skill development.
Day 4
Participants will evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts throughout the
week and develop plans for specific students that they work with. This final
session will also focus on the incorporation of structured teaching into
general education settings.
