Professional Development Academy

The Professional Development Academy is composed of representatives from each of the partnership districts, the David O. McKay School of Education, and CITES. Functioning under the direction of the Partnership Governing Board, this committee serves inservice educators in the partnership districts and preservice education at Brigham Young University with the goal of promoting simultaneous renewal. The activities of the PDA are of the sort that can be accomplished more effectively by the partnership than by one member alone. Activities such as pilot projects for the benefit of the whole partnership, coursework leading to state endorsements and conferences and institutes for university and public school personnel constitute a large part of the work of the Academy.
