Dear Site Coordinators,
It has been a very busy and fulfilling year in our
partnership. You have added immeasurably to the leadership, vision and
professional engagement that make us who we are. We have shared the value
you add to PDS in your site coordinator role at 3 major conferences this
year:
* NC Teacher Education Forum, Raleigh, NC September 2009
* National Evaluation Institute, Louisville, KY October 2009
* PDS National Conference, Orlando, FL March 2010
Each presentation gave us the opportunity to unfold the incredible work
that you do and describe the huge impact that you have on the educational
development of our interns and partnership teachers as well as the whole
school community.
It is with deep gratitude and admiration that I say thank you for all
that you have contributed. Please take some time in your life this summer
to find peace, joy and love!
Warmest Regards,
Diane

Teacher Interns in Belize!
The Watson College of Education International Studies Program offers
students the opportunity to work and study in schools throughout the
world. This semester 17 students began their internship in local area
schools and then traveled to Belize, where they will spend the remaining
6 weeks completing their experience.
If you go to the Watson College of Education web site you
will see a link on the first page that takes you to the blogs of Belize
interns. It is amazing to read about their experiences and to see all of
the pictures they have posted.
