Course Abstract
School-based speech-language pathologists often serve as clinical educators for graduate students in speech-language pathology. The school environment features unique clinical facets as a clinical education setting such as dynamic service delivery models, complex legal considerations, and unique case and paperwork management. Educational speech-language pathologists report that pre-service training should focus on the instruction of legal and paperwork practices(Heilmann and Bertone, 2021) as well as implementation of treatment programs that address academic impact (Geiss et al, 2020).In order to ensure effective clinical education in the school environment, teaching and learning principles can be utilized using a learner-centered lens. A learner-centered lens can be based upon strength-based practices, student goals, and evidence-based practices. This presentation will describe the unique facets of clinical education in school-based services, identify appropriate teaching and learning concepts to create a learner-centered lens, and apply this lens to case-based examples.
