Professional development schools are an increasingly crucial component of teacher education, research, and school reform. Marsha Levine and Roberta Trachtman provide compelling research and school-based evidence for sustaining effective professional development school partnerships, and offer sound directives for policy. Contributors detail portraits of teachers and teacher educators working together to change core practices, enabling readers to witness the work of professional development school by school. Broader issues, like the influence of finance, governance, and standards on professional development school work, are also addressed. This collection will establish a blueprint for successful development schools, ensuring that they do not remain the exception, but rather become the expectation, for all teachers and teacher educators.
The contributors, all teachers, teacher educators, and education researchers, include Ken Zeichner, Maurine Miller, Kathy Beasley, Deborah Corbin, Sharon Feiman-Nemser, Carole Shank, Katherine Boles, Vivian Troen, Nona Lyons, Beth Stroble, John Fischetti, Lee Teitel, Richard W. Clark, Margaret L. Plecki, Gary Sykes, Jean A. King, Rita Lancy, and Jon Snyder.
