Learning from Each Other
Each year, we welcome educators and school leaders from around the state, the nation, and the world into our classrooms. Working with our dedicated faculty, our guests participate in teacher-to-teacher mini-workshops, debrief observations, and develop action plans to take back to their schools and classrooms. Our guests, without fail, leave us with wisdom from their contexts, provide food for thought, and inspire us to continue to work for a better educational future for all students.
Since its establishment in 1934, P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School’s outreach mission has been rooted in a mandate to design and test strategies for improving educational and social-emotional outcomes for all students.
Outreach programs at P.K. Yonge inspire educators to ask questions, seek, and develop research-based programs, interventions, and approaches to teaching and learning in an effort to serve the youth in their communities.
Training Partnerships
P.K. Yonge partners with U.S. News & World Report’s top-ranked University of Florida College of Education to serve as a laboratory for preparing tomorrow’s educators. As a state and national leader, immersive, applied learning opportunities serve as a signature experience for participating UF students. Future educators are prepared to support the success of learners, address learning differences, and apply contemporary, technology-supported, inquiry-driven STEM and critical literacy teaching practices.
School Psychology
Semester and year-long school-based experiences are to prepare future school psychologists as district leaders in multi-tiered systems of support and to respond to growing mental health needs.
