and D’n’A projects was the low number of classroom observations. This challenge is currently being prioritized in the Bridges project. Recommendations – A General Model of Professional Development Focused Collaboration A general model of PD design is presented in Figure 2 and reflects a workflow for those seeking to form and maintain school-university collaborations for mathematics or science. The workflow reflects a collective commitment to SOL- based teacher PD as well as SOL-based classroom instruction, a focus on collaborative PD design between school divisions and university faculty, careful selection of research-based PD practices based on project goals and division needs, and the deployment of evaluation and feedback gathering mechanisms to inform refinement of the project at all stages of its implementation.
