New Impacting Education Issue
Activating Activism: Promoting Activism Within EdD Programs

CPED is pleased to announce that a new issue of our peer reviewed academic journal - Impacting Education - is now available to read for free.

This issue's special theme is Activating Activism: Promoting Activism Within EdD Programs. The themed issue is designed to highlight the challenges, the work, and the results of both EdD graduates and faculty as it relates to activism and becoming change agents within their local educational communities and beyond. 

New Series

Following the recent killings of Rayshard Brooks, David McAtee, George Floyd, Ahmaud Abery, and Breonna Taylor, CPED Board Member and Dean of the School of Education at Portland State University, Marvin Lynn, asked:

What would it mean for our EdD students to pay more attention to issues of race and inequality in educational systems? 

CPED Statement on Police Brutality and Racism in the United States

Dear CPED Community,

The leadership of CPED stands in solidarity with Black and Brown communities, and we grieve with them for the injustices they have and continue to face. In 2009, the founding CPED membership placed equity, justice, and ethics as the first principle upon which EdD programs should be designed to prepare educational leaders.

Introducing: New CPED Facilitation Services

From Dr. Jill A. Perry - CPED Executive Director

What’s CPED Facilitation all about anyway?

In the last 12 years, the understanding of the EdD has shifted. The field of Education now, by and large, views the degree as a professional practice doctorate. CPED members have utilized our Framework to create programs that meet local contexts and professional practice needs. But as CPED grows, we still see new faculty and new programs struggle with understanding how to design EdD programs that look different than how they were trained or how programs have been modeled for nearly a century.
