Assignment: Improving Social Skills in a Variety of Settings: Creating a Professional Development Plan

For this Assignment, you will assume the role of the special education leader responsible for designing and implementing a professional development plan for the district to support the development of social-emotional skills for students with varying exceptionalities.

To prepare:

·Review the module’s Learning Resources, as well as the Appendix B Checklist and CEC evidence-based practice standards from Module 1’s Learning Resources.

·Conduct a search to identify at least five current (published within the last 3 years), peer-reviewed articles relating to social skills specifically for students with exceptionalities. Note: You can use the same articles that you used in Discussion 1 in this module.

·Conduct a search to identify at least 10 evidence-based social skills interventions. Note: You will create a brochure incorporating these interventions for this Assignment and post a draft to the Module 5 Discussion 2 Forum for feedback from your colleagues. Consider how you would incorporate both the peer-reviewed articles and evidence-based interventions to create a professional development session overview, presentation, and brochure on social-emotional interventions.

Create a professional development overview, a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation identifying your professional development plan to implement social skills interventions for students with exceptionalities at your school, and a brochure on evidence-based social skills interventions.
