Welcome to the CPED Resource Library!

It is within these pages that you will learn more about the background, discussions, and accomplishments of the CPED Initiative around redesigning the Ed.D.

The information is divided so that you can easily search literature related to or generated from CPED, news about our initiative, videos from presentations at convenings and meetings, galleries that offer resources for teaching, archives of our discussions around CPED design concepts and topics, and outcomes of work generated from Phase I.

We hope this information will guide your understanding of our work and the goals and purposes of the Professional Practice Doctorate or Ed.D.
