Where Do We Go from Here?. Issues in the Sustainability of Professional Development School Partnerships

As teacher preparation undergoes closer scrutiny on the national scene, reformers ask : What is the future of Professional Development Schools (PDS)? How can research better address the developmental needs of partnerships ? What types of organizational structures can ensure partnership success ? What is the future of leadership in PDS ? Are diversity and social justice – part of the original PDS vision – being served, as well ? Written by scholar-practitioners who represent a new generation of PDS researchers, this book is a valuable source of critical analysis, reflection, and implications for taking PDS partnerships into the future for true school-university-community collaboration.
