CPED had an outstanding pool of applicants for the 2023 Program of the Year (POY) award! After lengthy deliberations and a rigorous screening process that involved an 8-member committee, representing just under 10% of CPED’s membership, the CPED Program of the Year (POY) Committee is pleased to announce the University of Pittsburgh as the 2023 Program of the Year.
The University of Pittsburgh’s (Pitt) EdD is a program encompassing multiple aspects of transformation that deliberately weaves leadership, equity, health, and justice into the coursework and transforms experienced professionals into scholarly practitioners who are equipped to address inequities with improvement science methodologies. Experienced practitioners have the option of selecting one of eight majors to dive deeply into the causes of current inequities and gain a comprehensive view of education and health in society. Students learn from peers and faculty experts and gain the tools needed to manage change in complex systems and work to create a more just future.
Dr. Gaëtane Jean-Marie will serve as the incoming Board Chair. Jean-Marie is the Dean of the College of Education at Rowan University. Prior to Rowan, she was formerly the Dean of the College of Education at the University of Northern Iowa, Department Chair and Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Louisville, and held a faculty position at the University of Oklahoma and Florida International University. Jean-Marie has been a member of CPED since its inception in 2007 as a faculty member, department chair, and two-time dean. She will serve as the Chair through June 2025. Stay tuned for more from Chairwoman Jean-Marie.
In addition, we add to to the Executive Committee Dr. Stanton Wortham of Boston College as Chair-Elect and Dr. Kofi Lomotey of Western Carolina University as the Secretary. They join Dr. Carole Basile of Arizona State who continues as the Board Treasurer and Dr. David Rock of the University of Mississippi who serves as the Immediate Past Chair.
CPED graduates are transformative teachers who enrich lives, schools, and the teaching profession. They embrace possibilities, teaching equitably, justly, and ethically, positively impacting students, families, and society. They foster collaboration across classrooms, homes, and communities and tackle real-world teaching challenges.
Proposal Submission Deadline: April 1, 2023
Transform in Latin (tranformare) means to “change in shape, metamorphose.” The verb is a combination of “trans” which means across or to go beyond and “form” which means to shape, fashion, build (https://www.etymonline.com). Over the last 15 years of CPED, members have reshaped and refashioned the EdD to go beyond traditional doctoral preparation toward a professional practice doctorate. Members have also sought to prepare leaders who can transform their field of practice just as a PhD transforms their discipline (Council of Graduate Schools, 2006).
CPED 2022 Convening CallThe Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is pleased to invite submissions for the 2023 Program of the Year (POY) Award. This award is given to one or more outstanding CPED member institutions whose programming demonstrates excellence, innovation, impact, and alignment with the CPED Framework to promote continuous improvement within varied local contexts. We seek programmatic innovations that are noteworthy for you, that have been impactful for your institution and your students – and that you feel would benefit other CPED member institutions.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was honored to receive the CPED Program of the Year Award in 2017. We are privileged to join amazing sister programs across the country in this distinction. Our program met the required qualities by focusing on our key principles and components of our EdD program with a focus on preparing professionals as educational leaders.
We're excited to announce that the first set of #CPED20 Convening video recordings and learning exchange resources are ready for CPED members to view. Included are the Wednesday, October 14th keynote presentations, several learning exchange sessions, and the 2020 award presentations.
The remaining resources and video recordings are currently being processed and uploaded to our Resource Center. Due to the large quantity of media, resources will be released weekly throughout November.
CPED is excited to announce our 2020 award winners! These recognize the accomplishments of CPED-influenced member programs, students, and faculty.
The Impacting Education (IE) journal is an open access, international blind peer-reviewed journal where academics and practitioners can publish scholarly articles that meaningfully contribute to the improved preparation of PK-20 educational leaders through the examination of the development, redesign, and improvement of professional preparation programs as well as their outcomes.
This year marks 100 years since the founding of the first EdD program. To highlight and celebrate this milestone and the progress made toward making the EdD a degree that prepares scholarly practitioners for their work in the field, IE is running a special series of three themed journal issues. Each issue will be led by guest editors with content-expertise and will be published in the spring of 2021.
