Casey, Heather – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2011

Howey, Kenneth R. – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2011
Innovation is often driven by crisis, and Rutter (2011) began her chapter by reminding everyone of the crisis confronting the United States in the early 1980s and how that provided impetus for the development of professional development schools (PDSs). In a complementary companion chapter, Neapolitan and Levine (2011) take the reader through…

Goodwin, A. Lin – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2011
The professional development schools (PDS) effort, which grew out of the groundbreaking work of the Holmes Group (1986), was deliberately focused on the support and advancement of teachers as professionals and the professionalization of teaching, so the author argues that it is ironic that a volume about PDS might be seen as voicing an opinion…

Yendol-Hoppey, Diane; Smith, Jason Jude – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2011
After the Holmes Group's report (1990), the concept of the professional development school (PDS) spread quickly as a vehicle for educational reform at both the university and school level. The rapid proliferation of newly established PDS partnerships accentuated concern associated with the lack of conceptual clarity of the PDS concept itself.…

Goetze, Sandra K.; Brown, Diane S.; Schwarz, Gretchen – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2005
If media literacy is to become part of the K-12 school experience, enabling transformation in both curriculum and teaching, then teachers need to become literate first. Teachers cannot teach what they have not learned, and learned to value, themselves. Although more American teachers are becoming knowledgeable about media literacy, much remains to…
