The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is an international network of 135+ graduate schools of education leading the charge to transform the Education Doctorate into the Professional Practice Doctorate in Education. Members are committed to rethinking advanced educational preparation through improved EdD program designs that offer academic rigor, practical impact, applied research, and value. CPED, the first action-oriented effort working to distinguish the EdD from the PhD, defines the EdD as one that prepares educators to become Scholarly Practitioners who can apply appropriate and specific practices, generate new knowledge, and steward the profession.
CPED guides its members in critically examining the EdD through dialog, experimentation, critical feedback, and evaluation. Through professional development opportunities and a wide range of resources, member institutions learn to (re)design their EdD programs to better serve practitioners while networking with a supportive and resourceful professional community.
Member opportunities for professional development include:
*Annual Convenings, the Carnegie signature activity
*Monthly virtual learning events
*Design materials and resources
*National data about EdD designs and practices
*Opportunities for collaboration across a vigorous network
*Newsletters, books and journal publications
*Social media connections
*CPED Interest Groups
*Facilitation services
We envision a future where equity-minded educational professionals lead lasting and positive change for the learning and benefit of everyone.
The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) transforms the advanced preparation of educational professionals to lead through scholarly practice for the improvement of individuals and communities.
