Common Core Continuing Education Resources for SLPs
Integrating common Core State Standards Into School-Based Treatment – by Perry Flynn and
Lissa Power-deFur
This program will help you understand the purpose of the Common Core Standards, which
are driving general education programs across the country. With this understanding, you’ll be
equipped to identify opportunities where speech-language services can be integrated into these
Standards. You’ll also learn how to identify specific language and literacy expectations and then
develop activities that build on them.

Shift Happens: New IEP Language for a Common Core World (free)
Special education leaders know that the shift to Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
will be reflected in new IEP language, especially with respect to speech and language goals. SLPs
and other special education staff will also need to change how they work with students. They
will need to have a guiding framework to write CCSS-aligned IEPs and to ensure that IEP goals,
objectives and the related intervention strategies will be specific and measurable against CCSS
standards. A panel of special education experts will provide you with specific advice and give
examples to help guide your district’s CCSS-IEP strategy.

this is very cool, it shows what is expected for different types of written text at each
grade level with details about what the piece included.
I have not included the Math standards but there is a lot of information on the OSPI/Math
site. Students are expected to verbalize more in the math standards, tell their reasoning, and
basically use more language.
