Scannell, Dale P.

Contemporary Education, v67 n4 p241-43 Sum 1996

One of four articles in the fourth section, "Aspects of Evaluation of PDS," this article argues for systematic evaluation of professional development schools. The paper provides specific suggestions for evaluation in three areas: evidence that K-12 students profit, that the preservice teacher education program is effective, and that continuing professional development for teachers is provided.
