A dearth of dynamic field placements for preservice teachers to connect coursework to practice has been identified as a gap in teacher training. This need could be potentially filled by facilitating opportunities for preservice teachers to work in an inclusive postsecondary education program for college students with disabilities as these programs become more prevalent across the country. Researchers used a mixed-methods sequential design to examine the perceptions of graduates from a special education program regarding their experience in working with an inclusive postsecondary education program (IPSE) while completing their coursework. Researchers found that all survey respondents indicated working within an IPSE had an important impact on their current professional lives working with individuals with disabilities. Specifically, four major themes emerged from interviews regarding practices and philosophy shifts. Furthermore, findings showed that building rapport with students, advocating for students and facilitating inclusive outcomes had an impact on them as professionals. Reported changes in overall beliefs before and after working with the IPSE were also found. These findings are discussed and implications are provided.","PeriodicalId":51596,"journal":{"name":"Teacher Education and Special Education","volume":"46 1","pages":"89 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47545670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The construction of these graphs—specifically, the presence of an aimline and the data points per x- to y-axis ratio (DPPXYR)—may impact decisions teachers make. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of graph construction manipulations on pre-service teachers’ accuracy with instructional decision-making. Participants included 94 pre-service teachers enrolled in an introductory course focused on students with disabilities at two universities. Following instruction on progress monitoring, students evaluated 48 graphs representing eight data sets with six manipulations (i.e., with and without aimline; DPPXYR set at 0.05, 0.10, 0.15). Results suggest that the presence of an aimline increased accuracy, whereas the manipulation of the DPPXYR led to mixed findings.

We recruited four pre-service special education teachers to provide 1-1 algebra tutoring to students with learning disabilities while receiving instruction related to posing mathematics questions and supporting students’ reasoning. The pre-service teachers increased their frequency of questions overall and of questions that probed students’ thinking or explored mathematical relationships. Students gave correct and complete responses to these more complex questions approximately half of the time; however, pre-service teachers most often reduced the complexity of their questions when students gave incomplete responses. The findings of this study illustrate the potential for pre-service special education teachers to develop questioning routines that engage students with learning disabilities in mathematical reasoning while scaffolding their progress toward new understanding.","PeriodicalId":51596,"journal":{"name":"Teacher Education and Special Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"309 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42922302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identified students at risk for MD as those performing at or below the 25th percentile on the state exam. We empirically identified eight qualitatively distinct and interpretable teacher qualification clusters. Based on value-added models, we found that teachers in Cluster 5 had lower average math learning gains than their peers in clusters with the most experienced and credentialed teachers. Cluster 5 included teachers who were novice and early-career, traditionally prepared math majors.

Based on 45 years of research and theory, we propose that teacher educators should prepare teachers to (a) know what to teach; (b) know how to teach; and (c) identify who teaches students with extensive support needs. We further suggest that teacher education and teacher decision-making for students with extensive support needs should be evaluated based on the following basic questions: (a) Is it inclusive?
