ABSTRACT

A reimagined educational doctoral program supports school leaders in international schools to address the equity challenges they are confronting in their contexts. Using innovative curricular, pedagogical, and research methodologies, the Ed.D. program has spearheaded an effort to use participatory action research methodology as a vehicle for equity challenges that crop up in their contexts (see https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429197062/1369942c-522d-4cdb-bfd7-201a59d2a8e6/content/www.education.ecu.edu/IntEdD">education.ecu.edu/IntEdD). The design elements of the reimagined Ed.D., largely from the improvement sciences and the community learning exchange framework, can be incorporated into similar doctoral programs as well as school reform work.
