WHERE WE HAVE ARRIVED Phase I of CPED: Why - Belief Statements = Scholarly Practitioner Why - Belief Statements = Scholarly Practitioner How - Design Decisions (signature pedagogies, labs, capstones) How - Design Decisions (signature pedagogies, labs, capstones) What - 6 principles of the professional practice doctorate What - 6 principles of the professional practice doctorate

WHY : Scholarly Practitioners From institutional documents Need for critical consumers of research Need for action research, applied research skills Need for research literary, systematic inquiry, effective data analysis for data-driving decision making Need for combining inquiry and content Need to develop students’ knowledge, competencies, and skills applicable to disciplined inquiry Need to focus on research in action Need for more deliberate and developmental scaffolding for students as they plan for and actually conduct research on problems of practice From October Convening We, the members of CPED, believe “The professional doctorate in education prepares educators for the application of appropriate and specific practices, the generation of new knowledge, and for the stewardship of the profession.”

How : our accomplishments Key program structures : cohorts, three year completion, innovative assessments, attention to adult learners, engagement of workplace, Key features : signature pedagogies, labs, capstones that emphasize inquiry and define cohesive leadership preparation that engages learner and scholar in solving problems of practice Key outcomes : scholarly decisions and solutions to high leverage problems, scholarly products aimed at research and practice, rethinking of doctoral preparation in SOEs

What : 6 principles 1.Is framed around questions of equity, ethics, and social justice to bring about solutions to complex problems of practice. 2.Prepares leaders who can construct and apply knowledge to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals, families, organizations, and communities. 3.Provides opportunities for candidates to develop and demonstrate collaboration and communication skills to work with diverse communities and to build partnerships. 4.Provides field-based opportunities to analyze problems of practice and use multiple frames to develop meaningful solutions. 5.Is grounded in and develops a professional knowledge base that integrates both practical and research knowledge, that links theory with systemic and systematic inquiry. 6.Emphasizes the generation, transformation, and use of professional knowledge and practice.

Why— Justify our claim that Scholarly Practitioner is important? In inter-institutional groups: Discuss & record results

How are we preparing Scholarly Practitioners? In inter-institutional groups: Describe your institutional efforts around one of the following CPED design concepts— Signature pedagogies Laboratories of Practice Capstones

MOVING FORWARD TO PHASE II: WE HAVE LOTS TO DEMONSTRATE NEED EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ACROSS INSTITUTIONS

What — questions to launch Phase II & attract resources In inter-Institutional groups, CONSIDER THE RESEARCH questions &ANSWER: What — questions to launch Phase II & attract resources In inter-Institutional groups, CONSIDER THE RESEARCH questions &ANSWER: a. What do we think of these as research questions? B. how can we word-smith them? C. what are some subquestions? D. What are our hypotheses around these?

Next steps TimelineAERA: Evaluate RQs Add sub-questions Ideas on how we might collect data (will warrant tool development) May-June: Send out AERA results to all teams Develop two-page description for potential protocol development Write narratives for grant Assemble proposal writing team At UCF June Convening: Question development teams Protocol development teams Discuss division of consortium for research-- inter-institutional June-September June-September Establish institution commitments Work as if we have grant—develop design, products due, convenings Questions to consider: Size, scope, how to group? Products, outcomes, evidence Types of Evaluation How disseminate our products/results? Inclusion of new members as critical friends?

Thanks for participating Share ideas with your home team members We’ll see ya’ll at the University of Central Florida June 9-11th
