PDS12 Program Draft 1 - College of Education - University of South ...

Dear Conference Participants: 

CONFERENCE PROGRAM 

On behalf of the University of South Carolina, we welcome you to Las 

Vegas and to our celebration of the achievements and ongoing efforts 

of individuals and groups committed to PDS collaboration. We are 

very pleased that over 900 PDS educators have chosen to participate 

in this year’s event. In our time together, you will have the opportunity 

to choose from 307 concurrent sessions and to interact with educators 

from across the world. You also can participate in two pre-conference 

workshops and six pre-conference facilitated discussions. Other 

special events include, for the fifth consecutive year, Saturday morning 

Student Poster Sessions and a Friday afternoon reception for teacher 

candidates and first-year teachers. Our general session presentations 

include Don Clerico’s Thursday afternoon sharing of his experiences 

with teachers and teacher candidates in Ghana; Linda Darling- 

Hammond’s Friday morning perspective on the centrality of clinical 

experiences in teacher preparation; and Dwight Jones’ Saturday 

morning overview of his work as co-chair of NCATE’s Blue Ribbon 

Panel on clinical experiences and partnerships. We encourage you to 

actively engage in every aspect of the conference and to use what 

you learn as a springboard for continuous PDS dialogue as you leave 

Las Vegas and return to your various school sites. 

Recognizing the need for a bit of rest and relaxation in the middle of 

such intellectual stimulation, we have built into the conference a few 

social events aimed at helping you renew old acquaintances, meet 

new friends, and continue your conversations away from the bustle 

of the sessions, including a Thursday evening Meet and Greet 

Reception and a Friday evening Gala Reception. Of course, you can 

also take advantage of your time in Las Vegas to informally pick each 

other’s brains about your work in Professional Development Schools. 

The conference will conclude with the NAPDS business meeting on 

Sunday morning. We encourage you to participate in this conversation 

and to share your ideas and suggestions for how the organization 

can best serve your needs. 

In these financially restrictive and trying times, the Conference 

Planning Committee appreciates your interest in and support of this 

event. We hope you will find it as fulfilling as we have planned it to 

be, and we ask that you let us know if there is anything we can do to 

make it so.

Keynote Speaker 

Don Clerico, Charleston Southern University 

Don Clerico is the Director of Charleston Southern 

University’s Office of International Programs. He began his 

professional education career as a middle school social 

studies teacher in Florida before serving as a high school 

principal in Connecticut and a deputy superintendent in 

Maine; he then joined CSU’s education faculty in 1990. A 

two-time recipient of the university’s Teacher of the Year 

Award and the 2011 recipient of the Martin Luther King 

Award given by CSU’s African-American Student Society, 

Clerico believes that participation is crucial to learning. 

To that end he and a CSU colleague in 2002 launched the 

college’s first “Teaching & Learning in Ghana Program,” 

offering teachers and teacher candidates an opportunity to 

teach and observe in a very different culture. We are pleased 

to have him share his experiences with that program at the 

2012 PDS National Conference.

Bruce Field, University of South Carolina 


Dwight D. Jones, Clark County School District (NV) 

Dwight D. Jones serves as the superintendent of the Clark 

County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada. He previously 

served as the Commissioner of Education for Colorado. 

Colorado has a combined enrollment of 860,000 students 

in 178 public school P-12 districts. During his tenure he 

helped rewrite the state’s content standards and is revising 

the state assessment; his administration has created a 

replicable longitudinal student growth model and 

streamlined the state’s accountability system. He also 

initiated the Schools of Innovation status, allowing schools 

to seek waivers from certain district requirements for greater 

autonomy. 

Jones began his career as an elementary school teacher in 

Junction City, Kansas, before rising through the ranks as 

assistant principal, principal, and superintendent. He 

previously served as a superintendent and assistant 

superintendent for the Fountain-Fort Carson School 

District in Colorado, as operational vice president of Edison 

Schools in Maryland, Kansas, and Missouri; and as assistant 

superintendent of Wichita Public Schools in Kansas. Under 

his leadership the Fountain-Fort Carson School District 

was recognized as the number one district in the state for 

narrowing the achievement gap for low socioeconomic 

status and minority students. As the operational vice 

president for Edison Schools, he opened three reconstituted, 

100-percent minority schools in Baltimore City, Maryland. 

Jones is active with the Council for Chief State School 

Officers and, most recently, served as co-chair of NCATE’s 

Blue Ribbon Panel which produced the November 2010 

report, “Transforming Teacher Education Through Clinical 

Practice: A National Strategy to Prepare Effective 

Teachers.”

A Special Conversation about NAPDS/NCATE 

Collaboration 

Members of the NAPDS leadership team will solicit input 

from conference attendees about ways that PDS sites can 

help NCATE implement the recommendations of the Blue 

Ribbon Panel Report. Our initial plan was to develop a 

series of video vignettes highlighting various sites’ work in 

enhancing clinical experiences. We will discuss that as one 

avenue but will also welcome other ideas for how NAPDS 

and NCATE can collaborate to enhance clinical practice 

as the heart of teacher preparation.
