The computer generates, administers, and automatically scores the student's tests. It then shows the student test results and a graph of scores over time. This graph can be displayed for the teacher, who also receives a superimposed performance analysis and remedial program recommendations. This all-day workshop will prepare teachers to implement PALS Reading. Teachers will receive the PALS Reading Manual and will have hands-on practice using the strategies.
Teachers train their students to work with each other productively, efficiently, and supportively.
PALS is a supplement to teachers' regular reading programs. It is easily implemented. It promotes inclusion of students with disabilities in general education. PALS Reading has been approved by the U. S. Department of Education's Program Effectiveness Panel for inclusion in the National Diffusion Network of effective educational practices. This all day workshop will prepare teachers to conduct functional assessments and implement positive behavior support plans for students with challenging behavior.
