PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Ed.D. concentration in Educational Leadership offers two options: PK-12 Leadership and Higher Education Leadership . The PK-12 Educational Leadership option helps educational leaders—including school-level, district-level, and teacher leaders—develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to act as equity-oriented change agents in their schools and communities. Students in this concentration will be challenged to understand and use research effectively to address problems of practice, and to use data to lead and support others in various improvement efforts focused on equitable teaching and learning. Current and aspiring classroom, school, and district PK-12 educators are encouraged to apply for admission into this concentration option . The Higher Education Leadership option offers a focused study of the complexities of colleges and universities, their missions, contexts, challenges, and successes. This option prepares higher education leaders and practitioners who will take their scholarship and knowledge and apply it to effecting change and development in a range of higher education settings such as universities and colleges, state or federal governing and coordinating boards.
