Theme Overview
Transforming the advanced preparation of educational professionals to lead through scholarly and equity-minded practice.
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 towards 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).
The 2022 Convening theme seeks to inspire profound change and metamorphose of the EdD by reflecting the new CPED Vision and Mission that will guide the work of the organization and its members over the coming years. Specifically, the 2020-2022 Strategic Visioning work has brought a new focus on how CPED members are operationalizing the CPED Framework to empower educational leaders during critical times. For this convening, we urge members to contemplate and share:
- how their EdD programs are designed to reflect the needs of educational professionals and practice;
- how their EdD program designs are grounded in the CPED Principles;
- how they transformed their EdD program using the CPED Framework;
- how their EdD program learning outcomes, curriculum, and assessments prepare equity-minded, transformational change agents;
- how they define and prepare graduates for scholarly practice;
- how their EdD graduates learn to critically analyze and address problems of practice;
- how their EdD graduates impact professional practice;
- how their EdD program exemplifies the CPED definition of the EdD as “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.”

LEARNING EXCHANGE PROPOSALS
We invite CPED members to submit convening proposals that demonstrate transformational changes to their EdD programs as outlined above in the theme overview. Learning exchanges are 75 minutes long and take place during the mornings and afternoons of both days of the convening (October 13th and 14th).
All CPED member faculty and students are invited to submit a learning exchange proposal. Those who participate in a CPED Improvement Group (CIG) may submit an exchange proposal that applies the convening theme to the topic of the CIG (see info below).
Learning Exchanges are presented concurrently in breakout rooms. Exchanges can be facilitated by an individual or done collaboratively across departments or institutions. To promote the interactivity and engagement of participants several types of learning exchanges are available: See Attached Full Call for Learning Exchanges
CIG Sponsored Learning Exchanges open to CIG members:
CIG Sponsored Exchanges will capture the spirit and focus of the CIG’s work and/or the convening’s theme as they relate to the CIG. View CIG Calls

WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
CPED convenings generally offer 2-4 pre-convening workshops which last 2 hours and will run from 12pm-2pm on Wednesday October 12th.
Workshops will address the theme outlined above but offer participants more time to learn and collaborate around ideas. Presenters should be prepared to offer deeper interactive learning content that supports participants in considering how they might improve their EdD programs based on workshop content.
