PDS Conference

The PDS Consortium holds its annual conference at the beginning of each fall semester. Conferences bring together PDS partners - including school teachers and administrators, campus faculty and staff, and teacher candidates - for lively discussions on selected topics. In addition, teacher candidates share their current research through workshops and poster presentations. Click below to view past retreat photos and information about past presentations.
