Required Workshops
In order to be certified to teach in New York State, all students pursuing a teacher education degree must participate in three workshops: the School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop (Project S.A.V.E.), the Child Abuse Identification Workshop, and DASA. You can enroll in these workshops through your MyLIU account. Project SAVE and the Child Abuse Identification workshops are $35 each and DASA is $90.
- The School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop (Project S.A.V.E.) is a New York State-approved two-hour course that covers the warning signs, classroom management techniques, referral process, statutes and regulations regarding school violence prevention and intervention.
- The Child Abuse Identification Workshop is a New York State approved two-hour course that will provide health professionals and school personnel with the information and documentation necessary to fulfill licensure application requirements as mandated by the New York State Education Department. Course content will include: identification of child and adolescent abuse; reporting procedures for child abuse and maltreatment; and resources for referral and treatment.
- “Dignity for All Students Act” (DASA) Workshop
The State Legislature and the New York State Department of Education have passed new regulations “Dignity for All Students Act” requiring that every candidate for certification after July 1, 2013 must receive training designed to fulfill the Harassment, Bullying and Discrimination Prevention Intervention training. This requirement consists of a 6 hour workshop. Up to ½ (3 hours) of this training can be online.
All education, library science and counseling students need to take these three workshops.
