Build deep professional knowledge, solve problems of practice and grow as an educational leader. The Doctor of Education (EdD) is designed to inform, empower, and engage current and aspiring leaders. You will have the opportunity to create meaningful changes in your local community as you apply newly learned knowledges, contextualize practical insights, and analyze and address problems of practice in your professional context.Through your Practice-Based Dissertation, you will inquire into a problem of practice in your professional context, developing a theory of change to lead research-informed improvements and transformations. The Practice-Based Dissertation is designed to deepen students’ professional learning and unlearning, and is a bridge between scholarly research and practical application. Learning opportunities within the program are aligned with the university and the School’s strategic plans and commitments to reconciliation, equity, diversity and inclusion. Our MEd degree with coursework only offers rich opportunities for professional development through 30 credits of coursework. Students will plan their courses, with guidance from their assigned supervisor, to build a program that provides broad knowledge at an advanced level to inform their professional practice.
