 All New York State teachers must be prepared to teach effectively, students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and individuals from poverty environments (New York State DOE, 1989).  “The effect of teacher preparation on eventual student outcomes is necessarily mediated by teachers’ actual practice. It is, therefore, impossible to know the effect of teacher preparation on student outcomes without fully understanding teaching practice” (Goe & Coggshall, 2007).

Purposes  Describe criteria for quality clinical placements  Share three ways to connect teacher preparation, teaching practice, and student outcomes –Created & sustained collaborative relationships with P-12 partners –Taught pre-service teachers to use Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) & assess effects on student learning  Provide “evidence” on what “worked” –How student learning was impacted –How teacher practice was impacted –How teacher preparation – teaching practice – student outcomes were linked

Criteria for Quality Clinical Placements  Inclusive settings (i.e., physical, academic, & social integration) with multiple sources of diversity Effective teachers good instructional models (e.g., use EBP) nice enough to work with us Clinical experiences were linked to required courses for all teachers practice-based & driven by teacher- and student- needs highly structured (i.e., required formal teaching and outcome assessments) conducted in pairs

Instructional Assistants Program  First formal teaching experience  Freshmen & Sophomores  8- to 10-week field experience & partnership with P-12 schools –Pre-service teachers assigned in pairs –Twice per week; 3 hours per day –Teaching/Learning Contracts 3 to 5 routine instructional roles –Taught two formal lessons Pre- & post-test lessons Graph results for whole class, small groups, and/or one target student Use EBP in one lesson as intended

Descriptive Study (Maheady, Jabot, Rey, & Michelli- Pendl, 2007).  Instructional Assistants Program –422 pre-service general educators over 4 semesters –Almost 17,000 hours of in class assistance (15 years) 78% in high need schools –Taught over 800 formal lessons –Implemented variety of EBP with high degree of accuracy Students made marginal and noticeable gains in 83% of sampled lessons Students and teachers provided positive evaluations of program and EBP  Lessons Learned –Pre-service teachers can use “simple” EBP as intended & help students –In-service teachers used IA primarily for instructional purposes –School-university partnership has persisted for almost 20 years

Peer Tutoring Program  Second clinical experience –Sophomores & Juniors –Linked to Introduction to Special Education course –8- to 10-week, after-school tutoring program for students with disabilities and ELL –2:1 instructional arrangement Pre-service teachers alternated teaching, observing, and data collecting roles Collected data on how well they used selected teaching practices Monitored student performance on brief, end-of-session assessments –Worked in small cooperative learning groups on campus Shared EBP using Jigsaw format Modeled content enhancements & use of varied motivation systems

Peer Coaching Study (Mallette, Maheady, & Harper, 1999)  Randomly selected 3 tutor pairs  Taught them to use adapted version of PALS (multi- component training, “peer tutoring” package)  Examined effects of coaching on –How well students coached? –How well pre-service teachers used PALS –What happened to students’ reading fluency and comprehension  Lessons Learned –Pre-service teachers learned to peer coach but not well –Coaching improved accuracy in using PALS –Improved accuracy produced better student outcomes –Teachers and students gave positive favorability ratings –Pair Tutoring Program sustained for 24 years

Graduate Research Sequence  9-hour TE research sequence  Second course, teachers…… –Identify important problems –Complete illustrative literature reviews –Design research-to-practice studies & get approval to do them  Research-to-practice studies –Target important problems in P-12 settings –Conduct study under “existing” conditions –Compare student performance under existing (baseline) versus intervention conditions Within-teacher comparisons

Improving Homework Completion & Accuracy (Landy, Budin, Maheady, Patti, & Rafferty, in press)  Problem –Low homework completion and accuracy –Pupil disinterest and some disruptive behavior  Students and settings –20, 7 th graders; 12 students with IEPs –Co-taught math inclusion class (19 & 34 years experience)  Student Outcomes –Percent homework completed (i.e., % of items completed divided by total assigned) –Percent homework accuracy (i.e., % correct or completed items)  Teaching Practice –Three Jars

WHAT? WHO? WOW ! 11 paper slips 5 “completion” 5 “accuracy” 1 “both” criteria 80% to 100% 26 paper slips 1 “whole class” 5 “rows 1 to 5” 20 pupil name s 20 paper slips 15 (material, activity, & novel rewards) 5 (mystery motivator slips)

Closing The Gap Percent Completion Percent Correct

Takeaways  Some practices are more effective than others in improving student outcomes (EBP) –We need more teachers, pre-service & in-service, to use more EBP more often  Teacher educators can –teach these practices (and others) –provide structured opportunities to use them (early & often) & via P-12 partnerships –include “tools” to evaluate impact on students –conduct research on teacher practice & student learning  SEA professionals –promote and implement policies that support use of EBP –encourage use of instructional coaching to help teachers use them –support accountability policies & procedures that focus on teaching improvement over evaluation
