Presentation Outline Program Structure & Sequence Summer Institute Description Individual Math Intervention Project (IMIP) Description Research Questions Research Design Findings Implications

Structure of the Program Competency based program of study that: Focuses on developing teachers as problem solver Integrates content across a logical developmental sequence Scaffolds expectations for learning from an acquisition to generalization framework Emphasizes collaborative teaching structures and situates the program to engage in interdisciplinary partnerships Provides graduates with supported opportunities to gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to meet the needs of students with disabilities

Program Sequence Semester 1 7 hour instructional block Linked field experiences Partner schools Semester 2 6 hour instructional block Linked field experience Partner schools Content emphasis Semester 3 3 hour instructional block Linked field experience (Summer Institute) Partner district Content emphasis Semester 4 5 hour instructional block Linked field experience (year long placement) Partner schools Content emphasis Semester 5 3 hour instructional block Final internship Content emphasis Professional seminar PPPs Reading Endorsement ESOL Endorsement Team Teaching Approach Continuous Progress Monitoring: Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions

Purposes of the Summer Institute 1)Work with a partnership school to provide students with learning/cognitive based disabilities extended school learning experiences in reading and mathematics 2)Provide special education pre-service teacher candidates opportunities to implement and receive feedback on the use of research supported reading and mathematics instructional practices for students with disabilities. 3)Provide special education pre-service teacher candidates with opportunities to plan, implement and manage classroom instruction responsibilities and experience the realities of this with high levels of support. 4)Provide special education pre-service teacher candidates with opportunities to teach collaboratively and reflect on and learn from both the benefits and challenges of effective collaboration. 5)Provide special education pre-service teacher candidates opportunities to experience interacting with school personnel and students’ families in professional ways.

Summer Institute Logistics Third semester of program 2 week seminar (occurs before beginning of practicum) – 3 days per week/4 hours per day 5 week practicum – 3 days per week/4 hours per day Partnership with a Charter School for Students with Disabilities (K-12/Transition) Assigned to classrooms of 4-8 students with a co- teach partner Supervised by program faculty/doctoral students

Individual Math Intervention Project (IMIP) This assignment has 3 parts. Part 1: Student Selection/description of needs, strengths, and interests Part 2: Intervention Development (See handouts) – A. Pre-Assessment – B. Hypothesis/Intervention Design – C. Progress Monitoring Plan Part 3: Intervention Implementation, Evaluation, and Final Analysis – A. Session Notes/Ongoing data based decision making – B. Instructional Timeline including strategies and progress monitoring tools used – C. Post-Assessment – D. Student Performance Reflective Summary and Future Recommendations – E. Weekly and Final Reflections on what the pre-service teacher learned

Structure for TC Daily Intervention Sessions Instructional Phases - (see handout) 1.Measure Progress & Make Instructional Decisions 2.Problem Solve the New 3.Build Proficiency Mathematics Literacy Initiative

Overall Research Questions 1.What is the nature of pre-service special education teacher candidates’ implementation of individualized mathematics interventions that utilize research supported practices (IMIP)? 2.How does the analysis of students’ IMIP projects inform faculty about teacher candidates’ thinking related to data based instructional decision-making in mathematics?

Research Design Qualitative analysis of teacher candidate performance artifacts (Individualized Mathematics Instruction Project – IMIP). Sampling – random sample of 13 teacher candidates’ IMIP from the same cohort (N=36) – Pilot – 5 teacher candidates’ IMIP representing a range of overall performance (lowest-highest) Instrumentation – IMIP Evaluation Form (see example) Analysis – Open coding process – Individual researchers evaluated one of 5 IMIP – Researchers met to compare evaluations of first two areas of IMIP Evaluation Form – One researcher reviewed all completed evaluation forms and generated initial codes – All five researchers met to review codes, discuss, and reach consensus including themes/families/examples

Assessment Use of a Continuous Cycle of Assessment Use of particular assessment techniques over others Connection/comparison of data across assessment cycle (pre, ongoing, post) Instructional decisions apparent at particular points and not others Use of a Continuous Cycle of Assessment Use of particular assessment techniques over others Connection/comparison of data across assessment cycle (pre, ongoing, post) Instructional decisions apparent at particular points and not others Focus on certain components (pre, ongoing, post) rather than all Number Knowledge Test; Student Interests; CRA Assessment OVER error pattern analysis and flexible interview Limited Parallel to which assessment component TC completed Themes

Intervention Design Difficulty with isolating scope and sequence of target concept/ Skill Difficulty articulating the function (“because”) of the mathematics difficulty the student is demonstrating Connection between initial intervention design and subsequent intervention sessions Consistent completion of data/ planning forms Level of clarity/specificity of intervention across sessions Difficulty with isolating scope and sequence of target concept/ Skill Difficulty articulating the function (“because”) of the mathematics difficulty the student is demonstrating Connection between initial intervention design and subsequent intervention sessions Consistent completion of data/ planning forms Level of clarity/specificity of intervention across sessions Lack of complete understanding of the targeted math concept & relationships to other concepts (Number Sense, Operations, Algebraic Thinking) Limited in some cases; Evident in others Limited in some cases; Evident in other cases Level of clarity/specificity increases across sessions for most cases Themes

Planning Instructional decision- making/real-time planning within lessons Connection between pre- intervention planning (daily planning guides) and data/information recorded on daily session notes Clarity/specificity in describing thinking from session to session Instructional decision- making/real-time planning within lessons Connection between pre- intervention planning (daily planning guides) and data/information recorded on daily session notes Clarity/specificity in describing thinking from session to session Limited in a few; Evident in most Limited but somewhat improved across sessions Improves across sessions for all but one case Themes

Logical Progression of DBDM Intervention Design Hypothesis Pre-assessment data Instructional Practices Progress Monitoring Plan Daily Lessons Planning Guide Session Notes Summary Notes Instructional Decisions Uses DBDM to plan for the next days lesson Assessment

DBDM Discussion Points How well students designed the project did not necessarily correspond to the way the project was implemented and monitored. – Some students’ intervention design was appropriate but they had difficulty effectively adapting instruction using ongoing data. – On the other hand, other students did not effectively design an appropriate intervention but used ongoing data effectively to meet students needs. – 1 of the 5 students was able to do both. In this analysis a lack of understanding of the math concepts that the pre-service teachers were teaching was apparent which subsequently influenced the effectiveness of DBDM.

How Can this Research Inform Teacher Education Programs? Need to embed Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) throughout the program Developmental nature of learning to teaching – especially for learning to teach students with disabilities or students who struggle with mathematics Need engaged scholars who find opportunities to provide targeted field experiences, ongoing instruction, and continuous feedback for pre-service teachers on providing effective mathematics interventions Need for faculty across SPED and mathematics education to become knowledgeable about the needs of mathematical and disability related learning needs for students with exceptionalities

Next Steps Revise instrumentation & analysis procedures as appropriate based on pilot Complete analysis of remaining eight IMIP from sample; determine if saturation is apparent Finalize interpretations Target areas in program for enhancement/change (e.g., incorporate fidelity checks) Dissemination
