This article describes the Mason Elementary PDS Network (PDS Network), a multi-district network of clinical field sites, embracing collaboration with key stakeholders as a means to broaden its impact on the education profession and the larger community. The Mason Elementary PDS Network includes 30 elementary school sites with a shared commitment to improving K-6 education and impacting teacher preparation. Specifically, the mission of this PDS Network is to take joint responsibility for teacher preparation, faculty development, enhanced student learning, and inquiry directed at improvement of practice. By growing and nurturing a reciprocal relationship among K-6 educators, school and district leaders, and university faculty, it is believed there can be an improved and informed knowledge base in teacher education, the professional development of practicing teachers, and the learning of students.
