Doctorate of Education: Instructional Leadership
Our Focus
The Ed.D. in Instructional Leadership at WestConn has three major components:
- Leadership Theory and Practice At the start
of the program, students will participate in a
leadership assessment exercise and develop an individualized Leadership Development Plan
with a faculty advisor and/or organization representative. This plan will act as a blueprint for the acquisition and enrichment of leadership behaviors and skills. Additionally, students will develop individual, group and organizational competencies through planned study in these areas.
- Assessment and Inquiry Doctoral students
will interpret and apply a full complement of in-depth
research questions to educational settings.
Students will develop skill and knowledge in the
areas of evaluation, interpretation and research
implementation.
- Curriculum and Instruction Students will investigate multiple intelligences and other cognitive-developmental theories, and design/modify existing classroom curricula.
