EDSI-9995 Capstone I

Description

Capstone I introduces doctoral candidates to the foundational processes of applied inquiry within the Ed.D.in School Improvement. Candidates identify a problem of practice grounded in their professional context and engage in systematic review and synthesis of scholarly literature and evidence-based best practices to inform improvement efforts. Emphasis is placed on collaborative development of focused capstone project question(s), application of current APA writing standards, and selection of appropriate research methods aligned to school improvement goals. Candidates examine core methodological components, including sampling, instrumentation, data collection, and analysis, and culminate the course by developing and presenting a capstone proposal that articulates the problem, literature base, project questions, and preliminary design for improvement-focused research.
