Professional Development Schools Workshop
Published in Calendar
Are you interested in learning more about the potential benefits of strong school-university partnerships? Or are you interested in forming or strengthening a Professional Development School (PDS) partnership between your school district and your local college or university? The University of Georgia, College of Education and the Clarke County School District formed a partnership in 2009, which has grown to include seven active Professional Development School sites. College of Education courses are taught on-site at the schools and university faculty work with school-based teachers and administrators on a variety of initiatives. In this 2-day workshop, representatives from both institutions will lead participant teams through PDS school visits and working sessions on how to build sustainable partnerships, create a model that serves both institutions, and maximize the benefits of PDSs for all stakeholders. Participant teams are encouraged to include both school district members (principals, teachers, administrators) and college or university teacher educators and administrators.
