         Welcome to the UNI PDS, an innovative partnership with the Cedar Falls and Waterloo community schools. Our PDS recognizes the intertwined nature of the missions of schools and the university and seeks to create a hybrid learning community to bring about our simultaneous renewal. Our PDS promotes exemplary teaching in both school and university settings, creates powerful professional development opportunities and new leadership roles for teachers and university faculty, and focuses on the improvement of PreK-12 student achievement.

New Era, New Director- August 14th 2009
         The pilot phase of the UNI PDS ended in the spring of 2009 with all partners and stakeholders committed to institutionalizing our model. The PDS Governing Board will move forward with the creation of a formal Articulation Agreement in the fall semester, and additional schools will be invited to participate.
         Becky Wilson Hawbaker has been named the new Director of the PDS with the departure of founding PDS Director John Henning, who is now the Chair of the Department of Teacher Education at Ohio University. Hawbaker played several key roles in the pilot stage of the PDS and is also the Coordinator of Field Experiences at UNI.
