Abstract

A Professional Development School (PDS) is an innovative approach to preparing K-12 teachers. The success of a PDS is determined by how well it creates and maintains systems designed to foster supportive environments in the face of increased pressure from internal and external factors. The development, implementation, and experiences of a site-based PDS focusing on creating teacher-leaders are documented. Resiliency is needed in both pre-service teachers as well as in institutional systems of a PDS in order to meet K-16 student learning and professional development needs.
