@book{2014:ferrara:profession, title = {Professional Development Schools}, year = {2014}, note = {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.}, edition = {1}, publisher = {Rowman & Littlefield}, address = {Lanham}, series = {}, volume = {}, author = {Ferrara, JoAnne} }
