PDS Work at a Small University: Solutions to Common Problems
Mills, Lynne
School-University Partnerships, v4 n2 p96-99 Fall 2010
Small universities deal with two primary issues when beginning to use the Professional Development School model: Adequate Funding and Faculty Support. Possible solutions are discussed, including ways to provide adequate funding through grants, enrichment/tutoring programs, reallocation of existing funds, and university priority money, as well as ways to provide more faculty support through various arrangements of current positions, release time, and graduate assistants.
