An Inter-Institutional Discussion about Reclaiming the Education Doctorate

CPED contends, "The professional doctorate in education prepares educators for the application of appropriate and specific practices, the generation of new knowledge, and for the stewardship of the profession."

The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is a national effort aimed at strengthening the education doctorate, or Ed.D.

 

As a result of the first phase of the initiative, consortium members have:

  1. Developed a set of Working Principles for the Professional Practice Doctorate in Education that guide the development of Ed.D. programs.

  2. Defined a set of Design Concepts that serve as the core components in Ed.D. Programs.

Phase II is funded by a grant from the Fund For the Improvement of Secondary Education.
