About the Book

The Professional Development School (PDS) movement has been a major vehicle for the simultaneous renewal of Pre-K-12 education and the teaching profession for nearly twenty years. This second volume in a series created by Towson University goes beyond start up stories and presents data-based discussions on a variety of topics about PDS implementation and assessment, including PDSs in specialty areas, such as music and physical education, mentoring, teacher development, standards, accountability, and sustainability. Chapters are written by researchers who presented their work at the Second National Professional Development School Conference sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education's Professional Development School Network, and who represent public and private colleges and universities and school districts in Maine, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Georgia, Kansas, and Missouri, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Review :
The future of public education rests on the shoulders of the massive new generation of teachers now entering the profession. The future of these teachers depends on the schools in which they learn their professional craft. More and more of these schools are now Professional Development Schools, which are no longer in their infancy but in the midst of adolescence - striving for a mature identity. This exceptional collection of essays brings together researchers, practitioners, and practitioner-researchers to set out inspiring visions, provide real examples, and document the honest struggles of education to help Professional Development Schools develop and make them the very best they can be - for education and educated alike. This is a vital addition to every teacher's and teacher educator's professional library. (Andy Hargreaves, Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education, Boston College) This second volume of Towson University's three-part series on professional development schools conceptualizes the growth of school and university partnerships across state and national levels. Staying the Course with Professional Development Schools illustrates the growth of the professional development school movement from each partnership addressing individual needs to providing information for partnerships across the country as the movement continues to grow and mature. (Sally Yahnke, Associate Professor, Secondary Education, Kansas State University)
