It’s time to become Licensed or Certified!

I have really enjoyed sharing my insights with you!

I would like to conclude this series with a couple additional tidbits of valuable information. We are all striving to make the best decisions given any situation we are faced with. During graduate school, you were paired with strong SLPs who have guided you, critiqued you, and shared with you all the knowledge they have to help you grow professionally. You have gained great experience in preparation for your first job as a Speech-Language Pathologist.

If you have spent time in a school placement with a large caseload while obtaining your clinical clock hours, you know that in addition to having a great case management system to help you stay on top of your deadlines and student minutes/services, it is important to also have a workable schedule.  As you start your CF experience, you will be factoring in teacher schedules, student availability and your own demands such as case conferences and evaluations. It will take some time and several adjustments to your therapy schedule in the first few weeks to get a final product that you feel you can work with.  You may even tweak it throughout the year.

Interviews can be stressful regardless of how well you prepare. Here’s some interview protocols to help you tackle the stress of interview etiquette and help you to focus on finding out if this is the right job for your CF.

Comparing and evaluating job offers:

Sometimes choosing what job offer to accept is easy and other times it’s difficult to remember who is offering what or having to choose between several good options. One of the best pieces of advice we can give you is to ask the tough questions in the interview.

Many school districts are wanting SLPs to utilize the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) when developing goals and objectives for students on their caseload.  You may have received information in your graduate-level courses and have had or are going to have a school-based externship. It will be important for you to find out how the SLP you are placed with addresses these issues as s/he provides services to the students on the caseload.
