SAGE Speech & Learning’s Teacher Trainings in Schools- Enhancing Language Skills

Has your school considered engaging SAGE Speech & Learning Associates? At SAGE Speech & Learning Associates, we recognize the vital role educators play in fostering language development in children. With the school year in full swing, it’s an ideal time to offer targeted teacher training sessions that empower teachers with the knowledge and strategies they need to support their students effectively.

One of the key components of our training sessions is providing a refresher on language development by age. Understanding the typical milestones children should reach can help teachers identify when a child's language may be delayed. During our training, we discuss common behaviors that might indicate a language delay, allowing educators to recognize these signs early on. Early intervention is crucial, and by equipping teachers with this knowledge, we can collectively ensure that children receive the support they need at the right time.

Would your teachers benefit from a refresher in strategies for supporting language development? In our sessions, we also delve into practical strategies that educators can implement across various settings within the school environment. Language development doesn’t happen in isolation; it occurs during lessons, playtime, transitions, and more. We provide teachers with actionable tips for supporting language growth both inside and outside the classroom. This holistic approach ensures that children have multiple opportunities to engage in meaningful communication throughout their school day.

Visual schedules and supports are incredibly effective tools for enhancing comprehension and communication. During our trainings, we explore how to effectively use visual aids such as "first this, then that" charts. These tools help children understand sequences and expectations, making it easier for them to navigate their day. By incorporating these visual strategies into their classrooms, teachers can create a more structured environment that supports language development.

An important aspect of our training includes a brief overview of the screening tool used to assess language skills. We explain how this tool can help identify children who may need additional support. Furthermore, we offer to schedule separate sessions for teachers whose students are being screened. This allows for a more in-depth understanding of the tool and how to interpret the results effectively.
