Required Workshops (Project S.A.V.E. and Child Abuse Identification)

In order to be certified to teach in New York State, all students pursuing a teacher education degree must participate in two workshops: the School Violence Prevention and Intervention Workshop (Project S.A.V.E.) and the Child Abuse Identification Workshop. These workshops should be taken within your last two semesters of your degree program. You can enroll in these workshops through the LIU Post School of Continuing Education at 516-299-2236 or www.liu.edu/cwpost/ce. The courses ($35 each) are usually offered on Fridays once each month throughout the year.

  • 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.
