Review Quotes: "Professional Development Schools and Social Justice makes a significant contribution to answering the frequently asked question, 'What does it mean to be a Professional Development School?' The authors, an impressive collection of P-12 and college/university educators engaged in PDS collaborations, argue that because of their collaborative and inclusive approach, PDSs hold great potential for creating a more just and equitable educational system.

Field, Inaugural President, National Association for Professional Development Schools, University of South Carolina
