What happens when a group of veteran Professional Development School (PDS) teachers decide to challenge a school of education's edTPA policy and take the learning outcomes for their student teachers into their own hands? This article describes the authors' journey to transform student teaching practices at their PDS. As co-authors of this article, they wanted to share their experiences with other PDS colleagues with the hope of inspiring teachers to take the lead for making impactful changes at their own sites. After several years of following the school of education's edTPA mandate, a group of teachers became frustrated with the ways in which their student teachers were being prepared for the real world of teaching. The authors wanted to provide them with additional experiences to support their growth.
