CPED Improvement Groups (CIGs) consist of groups of members who share a common interest in specific topics, contexts, or components of EdD program design and who want to learn about and develop strategies for improving best practices. Such learning and improvement will support the CPED mission “to strengthen, improve, support and promote the CPED framework through continued collaboration and investigation.”
“Educators hold the most consequential and admirable role in any community."
"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.
We're excited to announce that the first set of #CPED20 Convening video recordings and learning exchange resources are ready for CPED members to view. Included are the Wednesday, October 14th keynote presentations, several learning exchange sessions, and the 2020 award presentations.
The remaining resources and video recordings are currently being processed and uploaded to our Resource Center. Due to the large quantity of media, resources will be released weekly throughout November.
CPED is excited to announce our 2020 award winners! These recognize the accomplishments of CPED-influenced member programs, students, and faculty.
The Impacting Education (IE) journal is an open access, international blind peer-reviewed journal where academics and practitioners can publish scholarly articles that meaningfully contribute to the improved preparation of PK-20 educational leaders through the examination of the development, redesign, and improvement of professional preparation programs as well as their outcomes.
This year marks 100 years since the founding of the first EdD program. To highlight and celebrate this milestone and the progress made toward making the EdD a degree that prepares scholarly practitioners for their work in the field, IE is running a special series of three themed journal issues. Each issue will be led by guest editors with content-expertise and will be published in the spring of 2021.
Greetings CPED Colleagues!
As we head into what will surely be a unique and challenging year, I write to offer best wishes from the CPED Team as you begin what may be an uncertain fall semester. Though these are unusual times, I assure you that we remain committed to the CPED mission: to strengthen, improve, support, and promote the CPED Framework through continued collaboration and investigation. To do this, we are putting member support front and center of our strategic priorities for the year.
CPED is excited to announce that we've updated the Resource Center for members with many new resources to download. These resources include research, essays, publications, learning modules, and presentation slides.
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.
Just like everywhere else, higher education has been highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the semester comes to a close and most of us are embarking on a summer semester teaching online, we would like to provide you with a supportive “just in time” webinar to help with your continued transitions to online instruction.
