On the 17th of September the staff at William Rose had their staff development day.
Suzie Cash presented on the use of switches and its effectiveness in the classroom. She demonstrated different techniques that would maximising student engagement and student outcomes with the use of switches and thus empowering students to be independent through communication. It was an engaging and challenging presentation for all staff.
Genevieve Grace and Jae Moon presented on PECS and how to use them effectively. They outlined the PECS format and how to engage students in PECS use. It was a practical and informative session where many teachers were inspired to use PECS with students where appropriate.
