FSU PDS Partnership Represented at National Conference

The Fairmont State University/PDS Partnership was represented at the 12th annual National Association for Professional Development Schools (NAPDS) Conference in New Orleans in March 2011. The conference featured educators from across the P-20 educational continuum in all 50 states. Presenters shared the strategies they have designed and implemented and offered practical, site-based suggestions to attendees.

This was the sixth year that the FSU Partnership has been represented at this conference, which serves to enrich the understanding of the successes and challenges involved in crafting and sustaining successful PDS work.
