Performance Assessment of Contributions and Effectiveness
Summary: The Performance Assessment of Contributions and Effectiveness for Speech-Language Pathologists (PACE) was developed by ASHA to be used as an accountability measure of the instructional contributions provided by school‐based speech-language pathologists. It comprises the PACE Self‐Reflection Tool, the PACE Observation Form, and the PACE Matrix, which is based on ASHA’s Roles and Responsibilities of Speech‐Language Pathologists in Schools policy document and is used to evaluate the portfolio and findings on the PACE Observation Form. Nine guiding principles represent the PACE performance objectives and were used to develop the PACE performance indicators. For more information on the PACE, visit the ASHA website.
