Fordham Westchester‘s Graduate School of Education will launch a Doctor of Education program this fall to ready graduates for leadership roles in K-12 positions, officials said.
The 45-credit program emphasizes collaborative learning and is based on the Carnegie Project Education Doctorate model, which blends both in- and out-of-classroom teaching to solve issues currently facing K-12 schools. An Ed.D. is often required for superintendent and assistant superintendent positions.
Students will be matched with local school administrators for three years to work on remedying problems the districts face. Those applying must hold a master’s degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA, have an educational administration certification and hold a leadership role in their school district.
The school will hold an information session on the program Feb. 11 at 4 p.m. in Room 140 of Fordham Westchester’s campus at 400 Westchester Avenue in West Harrison.
For more information on the program or to register for the information session, contact Toby Tetenbaum at 914-367-3235.
