This book is intended as a guide for practitioners interested in forming alliances within their community to support teacher and student success. Under the umbrella of a professional development school (PDS), school principals willing to engage in this type of partnership have access to a framework for school renewal. Within this school/university framework lie four critical factors that transform the ways in which teachers’ teach and schools’ function. The professional development school model takes a holistic approach to revitalizing schools by sharing knowledge, resources, practices, and the collaborative efforts of P-12 educators and the higher education community. Through the collective wisdom of P-12 and university educators, PDSs provide a new way to think about teaching and a rich environment for learning.

Many education leaders have called attention to the need to forge much stronger connections between pre-service teacher preparation programs and the K-12 education system, and this new book provides practical advice about how to tackle this challenge. Based on local work in Westchester County, NY and drawing on national expertise as well, Professional Development Schools outlines strategies for providing rich clinical experience designed to prepare teachers for the real world of practice in 21st Century America.
