| Description |
Much thoughtful work has been done
to identify and define the domains of
knowledge for listening and spoken
language (LSL) professionals. Sharing
that knowledge base with novice and
developing professionals has become
the responsibility of university professors,
experienced teachers and program
administrators, expert speech-language
pathologists, and other seasoned
professionals. Yet while the content of
our professional learning needs has
been made explicit, there has been little
discussion of the manner in which the
LSL knowledge base and its concomitant
skill set becomes known to the learner.
Fortunately, businesses, the nursing field
and other education professionals have
taken a close look at professional
learning craft and offer standards and
strategies to engage adult learners.
This working short course will highlight
evidenced-based professional development
activities and engagement strategies
that can be readily adapted to the LSL
domains. Opportunities to exploreimmediate application to the skill set
of professional learning will be offered
through practical tasks and the creation
of ad hoc learning communities during
the short course.
