Collaborating to prepare new teachers.
Professional Development Schools are innovative partnerships between K-12 schools and university teacher credentialing programs. Teacher candidates work for one or two semesters alongside a veteran cooperating teacher, giving them the same opportunity to connect theory to practice.
The goal of this initiative is to improve and promote high quality learning experiences through the collaborative efforts of school and university faculty.
