Presenters will offer examples of how NYS teacher preparation programs incorporate explicit instruction to support the data that shows the positive impact that effective parent involvement has on student performance and outcomes. Participants will explore teacher preparation courses that invite parents to present, provide for a family-based practicum, and model evidence based practices and effective strategies on parent involvement.

Project MUSE is a federally-funded (325T) program for preservice program improvement at Bank Street College designed to create an innovative case-based, collaborative Master’s degree program to address the shortage of secondary special education teachers. Working in partnership with the Bridges for Learning Network, a component of the New York City Public School System, Project MUSE incorporates public school teachers and administrators as partners in designing multimedia teaching cases which form the nucleus of an integrated, field-based teacher preparation program.

This session guided participants through Mineola Middle School's comprehensive evidence-based decision making program. Participants will learn how our inclusive 3 tier program was developed from the ground up through a team approach and is now validated as an Effective practice through the S3TAIR project which is supported by a State Personnel Development Grant from the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and VESID. Components such as team building, ownership, development, structure, the IST, and progress monitoring will be discussed.
