The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) has invited the Abilene Christian University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Gonzaga University, Governors State University, Missouri State University, St. Bonaventure University, Trevecca Nazarene University, University of Alabama, University of South Carolina Upstate, and West Chester University to join its network of over 135 institutional members in the important work of redesigning professional practice preparation in education for the improvement of PK-20 education and the organizations that support it.
CPED institution members are a network that stimulates each institution’s work and provides space for sharing, learning and providing feedback in a national dialogue across faculty, students and administrators in Doctor of Education (EdD) programs.
New members are chosen through a rigorous application process and evaluated by a membership committee composed of leaders of current CPED members. Based on the application and support materials of each of these new institution members, CPED anticipates that adding these institutions to the Network will add a value that will push CPED’s collective work even farther.
“We’re very excited to welcome these new institution members to CPED’s growing consortium and to see the contributions they will make in transforming the EdD to meet the educational needs of the 21st century,” said CPED executive director Jill A. Perry, Ph.D.
CPED hosts an annual convening that takes place at one of its member institutions in October of each year.
New institution members are invited to attend the upcoming CPED Convening to be held at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, Honolulu, HI, from October 14-17, 2024. The theme of this convening is Huliau: turning point, time for change, to learn from the past, to change for the present, and to improve the future, offering new institution members an opportunity to explore strategies to meet the needs of scholarly practitioners in CPED-influenced EdD programs.
Additionally, new members will meet current CPED members with experience related to both technical and adaptive organizational issues that arise in the process of redesigning EdD programs.
