Enhancing Language Skills in Kindergarten: The Power of In-Class Modelling by SLPs

Enhancing Language Skills in Kindergarten: The Power of In-Class Modelling by SLPs

Engaging kindergarten teachers in professional development (PD) programs can be challenging, yet crucial for improving students' language skills. A recent study, "Exploring Kindergarten Teachers Perception of In-Class Modelling by School-Based Speech-Language Pathologists Through Four Implementation Outcomes," provides valuable insights on the efficacy of in-class modelling by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) as a PD modality. Here, we summarize the findings and suggest ways practitioners can implement these outcomes to enhance their skills and support teachers more effectively.

Key Findings from the Study

Practical Applications for SLPs

SLPs looking to improve their support for teachers can consider the following strategies based on the study's outcomes:

Encouraging Further Research

The study highlights the need for more research on in-class modelling as a PD modality. Future studies could explore its long-term effects on both teachers' practices and students' language development, as well as compare its efficacy with other PD approaches like coaching.
