Teaching and Curriculum EdD

The Warner School empowers educators to become leaders in teaching and curriculum to use knowledge gained through research and practice to create environments where highquality teaching and learning can take place. The doctoral programs in teaching and curriculum emphasize Warner s unique sociohistorical and interdisciplinary approach; expose students to qualitative and quantitative research methodologies for use in studying the processes of teaching, learning, and curriculum development and implementation; and reflect the perspective that knowledge is socially constructed in context. Issues of reform, diversity, and equity provide a formative undercurrent throughout these programs. The active participation of faculty members in school and communitybased research and reform projects provides doctoral students with ripe opportunities for research and reform leadership.Opportunities abound to pursue advance study in teaching and curriculum, as researchers, instructional leaders, and educators. The Ed.D. programs in Teaching and Curriculum provide experienced educators with the opportunity to advance knowledge, skills, and practices as an educational leader and to enable them to draw on research to improve educational policies and practices.
