Join members of the Academic Affairs Committee for a discussion of our current doctoral programs and how to differentiate them in ways that may better serve both future researchers and expert practitioners. The most recent issue of the Peabody Journal of Education focuses explicitly on the Educational Doctorate and makes the case that Ed.D. needs to be constructed so that it is the "degree of choice for education practitioners" (Guthrie, 2009, p.3).
In preparation for the discussion we recommend that you read Guthrie, J.W. (2009). The case for a modern doctor of education degree (Ed.D.): Multipurpose education doctorates no longer appropriate. Peabody Journal of Education, 84 (1) pp. 3-8. (A PDF of the article is attached)
We look forward to discussing this important issue!
