"There is no better feeling than seeing the difference you make."
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was honored to receive the CPED Program of the Year Award in 2017. We are privileged to join amazing sister programs across the country in this distinction. Our program met the required qualities by focusing on our key principles and components of our EdD program with a focus on preparing professionals as educational leaders.

The CPED program design concepts state that mentoring and advising should be guided by: equity and justice, mutual respect, dynamic learning, flexibility, intellectual space, supportive learning environments, cohort and individualized attention, rigorous practices, and integration.
The defining feature and key strength of Florida State University’s online EdD program in Educational Leadership and Administration is the integrated approach to coursework, advising, and research in practice culminating in the Dissertation in Practice (DiP). Courses are designed around and sequenced in a manner that scaffolds toward the DiP.
Developing and launching a new EdD program in a Community College Leadership program is an exciting yet overwhelming task. As a faculty member and co-coordinator of a program that launched last summer, I thought I’d share some tips for those of you embarking on this journey.
CPED’s Program of the Year Award (POY) is presented to distinctive and innovative programs. Explain how your program meets these qualities and the role each member in your team played in developing a program of this caliber.
