This document outlines the IAR4D (Integrated Agricultural Research for Development) concept which proposes a new approach to agricultural research and development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The traditional linear model is being replaced by an interactive innovation systems approach that engages multiple stakeholders. Nine pilot projects are testing the IAR4D framework across three regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. The goals are to generate international public goods, improve benefits to end users over conventional approaches, and assess sustainability and scalability. Key principles include addressing both technical and institutional constraints holistically, and establishing innovation platforms to jointly identify problems and solutions through iterative learning and reflection.
This document discusses strategies for advising doctoral students to completion in 3 years. It describes restructuring a program to be cohort-based with an EdD instead of PhD focus. Selection involves ensuring fit and commitment. Advisers provide early, ongoing availability and structure curriculum around developing problems of practice. Students start work on their dissertation proposal in the first term. Advisers "nag" and support students, keeping the focus on finishing while allowing for changing goals over time. Relationship building and asking for needed support are also emphasized.
This document outlines the goals, schedule, and activities for a workshop on digital storytelling and adult learning. The workshop will cover topics such as adult learning theory, digital storytelling, iBook authoring, and more. Participants will engage in icebreakers, discussions, and hands-on activities to explore concepts like concept mapping and storyboarding. They will work individually and in teams to develop multimedia projects. The goal is for participants to leave as thoughtful scholars who collaborate and produce knowledge to lead as global learners.
This document discusses practitioner inquiry in doctoral dissertations and the use of action research. It provides an overview of the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) principles, which emphasize addressing problems of practice, applying knowledge to create positive change, and developing collaboration skills. The document shares stories of three students who completed their dissertation in practice using action research. Their projects addressed issues like parent involvement, technology in the classroom, and building trust between teachers and parents. The document suggests action research is a good fit for a dissertation when the student has a complex problem of practice and sphere of influence to create local change. It emphasizes sharing findings with stakeholders.

This document discusses different types of clauses used in the English language. It provides examples of full statement clauses, question clauses, infinitive clauses, gerund clauses, and non-factual clauses. It also discusses how the structure of sentences can lead to syntactic ambiguity and how predicates with embedded clauses can express knowledge, ignorance, or attitudes towards possible facts. The document aims to classify and explain different clause types in English.
- The June 2014 CPED convening will take place at the University of Colorado Denver.
- CPED membership has grown to include 88 schools of education, with new members from various public and private institutions across North America and abroad.
- CPED is working to promote its initiatives on social media and through its recognition program. It is also exploring how to better promote member institutions.
- The document discusses CPED's past initiatives through its FIPSE grant and outlines plans for its next phase of work, including establishing learning communities to implement and study the principles of the CPED framework.
CPED has influenced EdD programs, faculty, students and deans in various ways according to its research. Its next agenda could explore:
1) Long-term impacts of program redesigns on completion rates, student outcomes.
2) Faculty experiences of implementing changes and how rewarded.
3) Ways networking/convenings support continued adoption of principles.
Some questions could be:
- How have completion rates, time to degree changed over 5+ years?
- How do workload/tenure policies now support faculty engagement?
- What models best support ongoing practitioner involvement?
UC Berkeley Leadership for Educational Equity Program (LEEP)CPEDInitiative
The document provides an overview of the Leadership for Educational Equity Program (LEEP) at UC Berkeley, which uses a design-based approach for its professional education doctorate. The signature pedagogy is design development studies, which involve identifying a problem of practice, developing an intuitive theory of action, challenging assumptions with research, designing an intervention, implementing and collecting data on impact and processes, and revising theories. Examples of design studies address issues like reducing slurs, measuring school capacity, and improving literacy instruction. Principles of design thinking emphasize context-specific solutions through iterative inquiry. Graduates have gone on to positions like superintendent and principal.

Energia nuclear é produzida em usinas nucleares como as de Nogent-sur-Seine na França e Angra 3 no Brasil. Alguns acidentes notáveis incluem o acidente de Three Miles Island nos EUA e o desastre de Chernobyl na antiga União Soviética.
The document discusses coursework in principal preparation programs. It finds that very little time is spent covering personnel management issues like compensation, termination, and collective bargaining. It also notes that leading books on educational leadership rarely mention union contracts. Additionally, the document examines the restrictiveness of labor agreements in the largest school districts, finding that over half have ambiguous policies that limit a principal's autonomy over staffing decisions. It calls for rethinking admission criteria for leadership programs, the preparation process, and the support provided to new principals.
