Book excerpt: The concept of professional development schools (PDS) has recently emerged as one of the most exciting possibilities for systematic educational reform. These "teaching hospitals" of the education profession typically are real schools in a district that take on, with a cooperating institution of higher education, special responsibilities for inquiry and professional preparation. Although still in their infancy, PDSs as places for professional preparation and of inquiry into teaching learning and teacher education have major policy potential.
