Book LAUNCH OF 'VISIONS FROM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL PARTNERS'
CO-EDITED BY MICHAEL COSENZA, ED.D Rich clinical preparation combined
with progressive experiences in PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL (PDS)
settings are proposed to bring about systemic and impactful
transformation of educator preparation and PROFESSIONAL GROWTH IN
ORDER TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE P-12 student learning. In the new
book _Visions from Professional Development School Partners:
Connecting Professional Development and Clinical Practice_, co-edited
by Michael Cosenza, Ed.D., of Cal Lutheran's Graduate School of
Education, diverse authors describe their efforts to forge PDS
partnerships to develop and deliver high-quality training and
practical experiences for candidates, and simultaneously provide
professional development for experienced practitioners in ways
that mirror recommendations found in authoritative reports and
literature. The authors’ collective wisdom is vividly captured in
the multi-voiced chapters that are collaborations between cooperating
teachers, school administrators, county and district level
administrators, university supervisors, and instructional faculty.
The contexts authors write about are recognizable, and the
accomplishments they experienced and challenges faced will resonate
with institutions courageously undertaking change or renewal. The
book will be invaluable to SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY FACULTY AND
ADMINISTRATORS AS THEY transition to a partnering model of clinical
preparation for teacher candidates: it will help stakeholders decide
if their SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS ARE READY TO COMMIT TO A
PARTNERSHIP, and highlight the benefits they stand to gain, but
realistically address challenges that may be faced by administrators
and faculties as well as teacher candidates in the PDS enterprise.
