Professional Development Exchange (PDX) is a computer-based distance
learning system that provides a virtual learning center for members
to communicate and engage with one another in teacher professional education
activities. The PDX was developed in conjunction with the English Language
Learner Curriculum and Instructional Design (ELLCID) Project, funded
by a U. S. Department of Education, Training for All Teachers grant.
The goal of the ELLCID Project is to enhance the quality of instruction
provided to ELL students through sustained, collaborative, teacher professional
development. The means for achieving this type of professional development
experience is though the meaningful integration of computer-based distance
learning, via the PDX, with teacher professional development.
