The evolving landscape of education demands that leaders at all levels possess the capacity for rapid problem analysis from multiple perspectives, the ability to develop iterative solutions, and the skills to design adaptive learning environments. This foundational doctoral course cultivates essential skills for doctoral-level work, including literature organization, scholarly reading, and the development of a practitioner-scholar writing style. Critically, it introduces students to explicit problem framing and the application of diverse theoretical frameworks to explore potential solutions.
Note: The Main Issue and ultimately the Problem of Practice that you select must be aligned to your degree specialization. For example: If you are in the Early Childhood Education specialization, the Main Issue and the Problem of Practice for your capstone must focus on that educational specialization.
