Adaptations and Innovations: Evolving Supervision Models, Expanding Rural Outreach, and Generating and Disseminating Action Research
Goodson, Todd; Hough, Paula
PDS Partners: Bridging Research to Practice, v17 n3 p36-38 Fall 2022
The Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 public school system and Kansas State University's College of Education view the Professional Development School Network as central to the work of simultaneous renewal across institutions and within the professional lives of teachers, teacher candidates, and K-12 students. In this article, the authors share the pride of their nearly 40 years of PDS partnership work and their work with Manhattan/Ogden USD 383 from their collective inception as well as being the only PDS partnership to receive the Exemplary Achievement Award twice, first in 2011 and again in 2022. Herein, they highlight how they have evolved their practice in innovative ways including: the addition of two new pathways toward licensure--a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program and Bachelor of Science Online (BSO); expanding their signature on-campus summer STEM camp to include Virtual STEAM serving rural schools in the state and middle school participants worldwide; and starting an annual Rural Summit event to bring together leaders from rural schools across the state.
