Professional Development Schools: An Annotated Bibliographic Resource.
Berkeley, Cary
The 47 references annotated in this bibliography reflect a range of authors, modes of publication, and issues related to professional development schools (PDSs). For the most part, the entries are longer and more detailed than typical annotations. Collectively, the resources that are presented were selected to provide a broad overview of a core of relevant literature. Among the sources covered in the bibliography are case studies, journal articles, project descriptions, bibliographies, newsletters, research reports, critiques, and concept papers. Issues and topics include finance, collaboration, program start-up, governance, accountability, teacher development, and restructuring and school reform. Most of the references described in the bibliography were published between 1986 and 1995 although a few have earlier publication dates. These earlier works generally do not explicitly address PDSs; they are included because they discuss some aspect of the context, background, or debate on the PDS concept. The introduction identifies five institutional sources of information on professional development schools and briefly outlines the goals and characteristics of PDSs. (IAH)
