Northeastern University: Writing your Problem of Practice Statement
Online | Hosted on Zoom
About the Event
Rooted in Northeastern University’s Graduate School of Education, the online Doctor of Education program at Northeastern University in Seattle, Charlotte, and Boston aims to cultivate scholar-practitioners who, through lifelong experiential learning, contribute to the transformation of communities toward just and equitable societies.
During this session you will learn about how our EdD students use what we call action research to create change. Every student begins with a problem of practice and use cycles of investigation to find solutions to issues in a particular context to innovate and drive innovative, systemic change in their workplace and/or community. This session is designed to assist you in deciding what that problem of practice is and how to write it out as requested in the application.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and get more details about the program curriculum, developing a problem of practice, and more. Bring your questions for the open Q&A.
