The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate

What is The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED)?

Carnegie Project LogoThe Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) began in 2007 and currently is a consortium of over 100 colleges and schools of education that have committed resources to work together to undertake a critical examination of the doctorate in education (Ed.D). The purpose of CPED is to build the capacity of educational leaders through the creation of a rigorouss professional practice doctorate. The Vision of CPED is to inspire all schools of education to apply the CPED framework to the preparation of educational leaders to become well-equipped scholarly practitioners who provide stewardship of the profession and meet the educational challenges of the 21st century. The mission of CPED is to strengthen, improve, support and promote the CPED framework through continued collaboration and investigation. The CPED Framework consists of three components - a new definition of the Ed.D., a set of guiding principles for program development and a set of design-concepts that serve as program building blocks.
