"""This book is not just another tool for faculty seeking to (re)design their EdD program--it is the complete toolbox with a guide for how to tackle what can seem like an insurmountable challenge. For faculty grappling with questions about the purpose of the EdD and what scholarly practitioners should know and be able to do, these chapters offer myriad resources to help them find answers that meet their students' needs. Wherever faculty are in their program (re)design journey, this book has the right tools to help with innovative ideas to consider and opportunities for reflection along the way.""--Noelle A. Paufler, Associate Professor, Clemson University ""Dr. Jill Perry masterfully describes the genesis, form, function, and distinct characteristics of the EdD in contrast to the PhD Readers will greatly benefit from wisdom derived from decades of research that Dr. Perry has done about EdD programs through her work with the Carnegie Project on the Educational Doctorate. Drawing from research and collaboration with universities nationwide, this book offers concrete examples, tools for program development, and answers to questions that EdD faculty and students perpetually ask. This book is a gift to the field!""--Dr. Joy Howard, Associate Professor, Educational Leadership, Western Carolina University ""Dr. Perry has written a must-read for anyone who is on a journey to re-design or design an Education Doctorate (EdD) program.
