(Based on the NCATE PDS Mission and Partnership Standards)
The Professional Development School (PDS) Partnership between the School of Education at Buffalo State College and participating schools is a collaborative effort. The partnership is dedicated to college faculty, school administrators, practicing teachers, teacher candidates, and PreK-6th grade learners as we explore effective practices to:
(1) cooperatively supervise teacher candidates and provide closer connections to authentic classroom practice
(2) promote professional development for inservice teachers, college faculty and administrators;
(3) improve young student learning; and
(4) research best practices for the education of all partners.
