Two universities and their prospective partnership schools collected data to help ascertain the perceived readiness of school-university Professional Development School (PDS) partnerships. The measurement tool, ''The Professional Development School Exploration and Assessment'' (PDSEA) includes a five-step process that makes use of survey and focus group data. The PDSEA incorporates the embedded concepts of organizational learning, structures and decision-making, the respective contexts of culture, partnership, and innovation, and the NAPDS Nine Essentials as a basis for the process (NAPDS, 2008). For this study, authors focused on the responses to the PDSEA in a more formative evaluative manner with an emphasis on reporting step-1 survey results between the schools and the universities. Implications for the results, including limitations, are also presented.
