PDS Website: ATE’s Board of Directors is sponsoring the Professional Development Schools Impact Profile website, and ATE members can have access to this website. It was developed under a Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant from the U.S. Department of Education, and after the grant money ran out ATE’s Board agreed to step forward and enable the website to continue. The PDS Impact Profile provides a comprehensive, easily accessible, and practice-informed resource through which institutions can contribute to and learn from each other's experiences within the highly contextualized and complex work of PDS. The site is located at the following link: http://pds.gsw.edu/.

ATE's 2009 Annual Meeting held in Dallas February 14-18, 2009, was a great success. Among the highlights, coverage of the Classroom of the 21st Century made the television news on Channels 8 and 11 in Dallas; Former Assistant Secretary of Education Ray Simon's talk was the subject of an article and full-color photo in the Dallas Morning News; NCATE President James Cibulka introduced some important changes to their process (the pdf of his presentation is available at the "2009 Annual Meeting Extras" link below); and more than 500 young people attended the Pre-Service Strand to hear National Teacher of the Year Michael Geisen and others.
