Bloomington, IN (PRWEB) January 26, 2009 -- Phi Delta Kappa International (http://www.pdkintl.org/), the premier professional organization for educators, and Solution Tree Press (http://www.solution-tree.com/Public/Main.aspx), a leading provider of research-based educational resources, today announced a strategic partnership designed to better serve the international education community. This new relationship provides PDK members with access to more resources, including the option to join a professional book club.
