The Effects of a Professional Development School Program on Student Achievement as Measured by the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Teacher Perceptions of School Climate, and Pre-Service Teacher Reflections
Creasy, Kim
Online Submission
Professional Development Schools are innovations in which universities are joined with schools. Commonly teacher candidates are immersed in one setting. Early PDS research tended to focus on one aspect of a program. Those aspects of PDS studies were typically student achievement, the professional development of faculty, or teacher candidate preparation. The focus of this research was to look at those same aspects from a multi-dimensional view to determine the benefits for each group. Some form of evaluation must be developed to provide evidence of the efficacy of PDS for all stakeholders. Appended are: (1) Professional Development School Application for Placement; (2) Campus Day Professional Development Agendas; (3) Cover Letter and Survey Instrument; (4) Correlation Matrix; (5) Permission to Collect Data; and (6) Human Subjects Approval.
