Faculty publish new book on clinical teacher education in urban schools Clinical teacher education can only be carried out effectively with a strong professional development schools network, according to Chara Bohan, associate professor in the COE's Department of Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology, and Joyce Many, COE associate dean for academic programs.
COE faculty and staff at Georgia State University have worked side by side with K-12 schools and universities in the metro-Atlanta area as part of its Professional Development Schools (PDS) network.
PDS at Georgia State University had initial support through a five-year, $6.1 million Teacher Quality Enhancement grant, and the current network of schools is funded by a $13 million Teacher Quality Partnership grant. These school-university partnerships allow those involved to share current research, professional development opportunities for new and veteran teachers and strategies to improve student achievement.
This network is the subject of Clinical Teacher Education: Reflections from an Urban Professional Development School Network, a new book written and edited by Bohan and Many, that highlights the strengths and challenges of a PDS network and its impact on urban schools in Atlanta.
"We knew there were so many good things that came out of this grant," Many said. "We wanted to highlight the unique features of the PDS network."
