Abstract

The 2014 Professional Development Schools National Conference recognized the partnership between the University of South Florida and Hillsborough County Public Schools for its outstanding collaborative accomplishments, and so named it one of the four recipients of the National Association for Professional Development Schools Exemplary Professional Development School Achievement Award. This partnership also won the 2014 Association of Teacher Educators Distinguished Program in Teacher Education, and the 2014 University of South Carolina Spirit of Partnership Award. This article describes the work of this innovative urban school-university partnership as it relates to the NAPDS Nine Essentials (2008) of professional development schoolwork.
