Professional Development School Partnership

Through Fairfax County Public Schools, Marymount offers a Professional Development School (PDS) program. This partnership is a collaborative licensure program and is available to selected M.Ed. candidates. Interns spend a full academic year in partner schools while completing M.Ed. coursework. Students may elect to complete initial licensure for the elementary education (PK-6) program or the special education: general curriculum (K-12) program. All field and clinical experiences, as well as student teaching, are supervised and take place at the schools.
