2. What is the PURPOSE of CPED?
First..what is CPED?
• The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate
• The first action oriented effort in an 80 year history that seeks to
distinguish & define the EdD – Admin, Teacher, HE/Org Leadership
• A consortium of 56 institutions that are critically examining the
doctorate in education through dialog, collaboration, experimentation
and evaluation
• A design experiment (we don’t have all the answers…yet.)
• A national network of institutions, SOEs, faculty, student-practitioners,
graduate scholarly practitioners
• It is member-run
• AND….
• It is a success
• BUT…
• It is a work in progress (design experiment) and…
• It’s going to take a generation
3. Purposes
1. to clarify the distinction between the
research doctorate (PhD) & the professional
doctorate in education (EdD)
Done but need more evidence/demonstrations
2. to design and continuously improve
professional doctoral preparation that
enhances the capacity of professional
educators to transform the practice of
education.
