Types of Communication in the ClassroomDifferent types of communication in the classroom can dramatically impact a student's ability to learn. A Communication Performance Assessment (CPA) can help diagnose difficulties with communication in the classroom.
Classroom communication is the interactive communication language and responses between students and teachers. When a child is struggling, it might be due to a difficulty with receptive language. The importance of classroom communication cannot be down-played. Language and literacy outcomes for communication can help teachers narrow down specific learning issues that must be addressed. Before any intervention can be done through response to intervention (RTI), the specific area of difficulty must be addressed. The intervention will target that area. If it is found that the root of the problem lies in using effective communication skills, then teachers should look at a classroom performance assessment matrix to determine the exact area of difficulty. A CPA is similar in nature to an assessment rubric. Communication in the ClassroomClassroom Communication with Literacy Outcomes

We need to get a baseline and intervene with his working vocabulary." Targeting the intervention is necessary so specific gains can be measured and growth can occur.
