Background
The Standard Celeration Chart (SCC), Precision Teaching and the principles of fluency-based instruction will be introduced in this seminar. The importance of using a clear data tracking system to ensure quality in the teaching and/or therapy process will be emphasized. Implications of focusing on fluency rather than accuracy only will be discussed. The use of Precision Teaching and the SCC as data collection and decision-making tools that can be introduced to any educational or therapeutic programme and any setting will be demonstrated and practiced.
In the afternoon, a basic introduction to TAGteach® (Teaching with Acoustical Guidance) will take place and delegates will learn how to use this in combination with Precision Teaching.
