For Practitioners in P-12 Education
The Ed.D. in Educational Leadership is a practice-based program. This 60 credit hour program is for educational leaders working in P-12 contexts and institutions. The Ed.D. prepares democratically-minded leaders who will engage with issues of equity, ethics, and social justice to create solutions to complex problems of educational practice.
Curriculum and Courses
Miami’s Ed.D. program is based in our department’s Seven Principles, which are also reflected in the program’s goals for learners in the Ed.D. program. These principles spell out the program’s emphasis on democratic leadership for socially just institutions that serve all families and students in a district or school, as well as the program’s emphasis on preparing graduates who can collaborate with multicultural families and diverse institutions in their communities. Finally, these principles spell out our priority of program graduates being prepared to generate professional knowledge which informs their future practice.
