Professional Development System

Professional Development System (PDS) Council

In October 1990, the Auburn University College of Education and the Auburn City Schools formed a Professional Development System (PDS) Committee. The PDS had developed from the Auburn University Holmes Committee which had as one of its purposes to share responsibility for the preparation of teachers with professional development schools. In 2006, the College of Education reaffirmed its commitment to collaboration with Auburn City Schools and former the Professional Development System Council, known as the PDS Council.

The mission of the Auburn City Schools/Auburn University Professional Development System is to foster collaboration among educators, students, candidates, parents/guardians, and other stakeholders.

Membership of the Professional Development System (PDS) Council includes faculty and administrators from Auburn City Schools and Auburn University's College of Education. The Professional Development System is an ongoing council designed to foster collaboration and partnerships between Auburn City Schools and Auburn University's College of Education. Collaboration typically involves university faculty and students working with ACS teacher(s) and their students.

"The collaboration between Auburn City Schools and Auburn University's College of Education has provided an avenue for research projects that have had a significant impact on student achievement and positively contributed to the field of education. Faculty members within AU's College of Education are encouraged to contact the office of the Auburn City Schools' Associate Superintendent when desiring to submit a proposal to conduct research within the school district. Mrs. Joyce Morgan, Associate Superintendent, will review all proposals submitted. A response accepting or denying the research request will then be communicated to the principal investigator of the project. Research proposals should be submitted to the following:
