PDS Partners

The Offical Magazine of the NAPDS

PDS Partners has become a three issues per year publication; issues will arrive around January, May, and September. In addition to important news about the NAPDS and its conference, each issue will highlight PDS partnerships, projects, research, and “best practices” from around the United States (US) and beyond. In the spirit of PDS, the magazine will concentrate on articles co-authored by P-12 and college/university representatives. Each issue will also attempt to share stories and reports of PDS efforts from across the regions of the US, and from suburban, urban, and rural settings.

Future issues of the magazine may be themed, and we invite readers to submit article ideas, complete articles, and theme proposals. We hope you find the magazine informative, and we would appreciate any feedback you have about its content or quality. Finally, hosted by George Mason University and Cleveland State University, the magazine is edited by a team of university faculty, P-12 mentor teachers, and teacher candidates. Current editors include Kristien Zenkov (associate professor of education at George Mason), Jim Harmon (English teacher in Euclid, Ohio), Athene Bell (literacy specialist in Manassas, Virginia), Shawn Washington (student teaching intern in the Master of Urban Secondary Teaching--MUST--program at Shaw High School in East Cleveland, Ohio), and Sarah Vogel Laschinger (a first year teacher in Cleveland and a graduate of the MUST program).

We are looking for articles for future magazines. If you have a story to share, please contact:
