Professional Development School Trade-Offs in Teacher Preparation and Renewal

Examined the preparation of student teachers at four Professional Development Schools (PDSs) longitudinally, comparing their experiences with those of traditional student teachers. Data from meetings with administrators; site visits; document analysis; graduation and professional status information; student teacher surveys; and graduate surveys indicated that students appreciated PDSs' camaraderie, support, collaboration, and effectiveness. PDSs decreased teacher isolation and revitalized practicing teachers.
