The writer developed a booklet of 13 strategies; presented a workshop to introduce the strategies: met regularly with the six participating teachers during implementation; recorded meeting results; developed a pre/post checklist of intrinsically motivated behaviors in students; and administered pre- and post-measurements to …

The writer planned training sessions on six alternative service delivery strategies. Training was provided for the lead speech pathologist and special education directors from the 24 school districts in the county. The six strategies were: job-sharing, multilevel service, use …
