Educational Leadership for Teaching and Learning
Doctor of Education

The Educational Leadership Doctoral Program is designed to prepare educational leaders who address the most pressing educational, social, and political issues of their neighborhood, community, and society. The program approaches educational leadership in a way that is theoretically rigorous, publicly accessible, ethically grounded, and which speaks to a moral and political vision. Students learn to move skillfully between theory, practice, and politics and make issues of culture, power, and ethics primary to their work as educational leaders.

The Educational Leadership Doctoral Program is 60 credit hours beyond a master’s degree. This includes an emphasis in research, critical pedagogy, moral philosophy, history, cultural difference, curriculum theory, global issues, and critical policy studies.

Lewis’ College of Education is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
