- Professional Development School: The PDS program offers education students a year-long experience (one semester of methods coursework aligned with pre-student teaching clinical experience and one semester with 16 weeks of student teaching experience) in a public school in Illinois. If this is your choice, be sure contact your advisor, explore information on the PDS website at http://www.teachereducation.ilstu.edu/pds/, and follow any other instructions specific to PDS.
