Rethinking the Ed.D. 💡📚

The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is redesigning what it means to earn an Ed.D.

Here’s what you need to know:

✨ Theory Informs Practice: Prepares “scholarly practitioners” to solve real-world organizational problems.

✨ Dissertation in Practice: Swaps traditional dissertations for action-oriented, high-impact projects.

✨ 180+ Schools: A global movement supported by top education schools since 2007.

Real-world problems need real-world solutions. 🎯

Get your students & alumni connected and help Shape the Future of the CPED Scholar Practitioner Network!

The CPED Scholar Practitioner Network (SPN)- open to current EdD students and program alumni - is growing, and we're looking for a few more people to help shape what comes next.

The SPN planning team is looking to expand across three committees: Events, Communications (including website design), and Mentorship. The time commitment for these committees is flexible, with most committee collaboration taking place through virtual meetings once a month.

Interested? Please complete this short form by September 21, 2026 and we'll be in touch: https://forms.gle/sxriZHwuHhsXw2Gh9
More details on what each committee will focus on are included in the form.
Thank you in advance for your interest!
