Phase I: Critical Examination

During Phase I of the project, from 2007-2009, the CPED Initiative began its work of critically examining the education doctorate across its member institutions. Through bi-annual convenings, online discussions, and informal meetings, CPED members tackled the big questions that confronted the purpose of the education doctorate, as well as the best ways to prepare practitioners.

The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is a national effort aimed at strengthening the education doctorate, Ed.D.
