For this Assignment, you will assume the role of the special education leader responsible for designing and implementing a professional development plan for the district to support the development of social-emotional skills for students with varying exceptionalities.
To prepare:
- Review the module’s Learning Resources, as well as the Appendix B Checklist and CEC evidence-based practice standards from Module 1’s Learning Resources.
- Conduct a search to identify at least five current (published within the last 3 years), peer-reviewed articles relating to social skills specifically for students with exceptionalities. Note: You can use the same articles that you used in Discussion 1 in this module.
- Conduct a search to identify at least 10 evidence-based social skills interventions.
- Note: You will create a brochure incorporating these interventions for this Assignment and post a draft to the Module 5 Discussion 2 Forum for feedback from your colleagues. Consider how you would incorporate both the peer-reviewed articles and evidence-based interventions to create a professional development session overview, presentation, and brochure on social-emotional interventions.
Create a professional development overview, a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation identifying your professional development plan to implement social skills interventions for students with exceptionalities at your school, and a brochure on evidence-based social skills interventions.
Submit the following for this Assignment:
- A 2-page explanation of your professional development session
- A 10- to 12-slide multimedia professional development presentation on social skills interventions for students with exceptionalities. Your target audience should be the same group for whom you developed the social skills brochure.
- The final version of your social skills interventions brochure to distribute to stakeholders at your professional development session.
For this Assignment and all scholarly writing in this course and throughout your program, you will be required to use APA style (7th edition).
