“Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.”

Principle 1: Education at all levels has an important emancipating, rather than indoctrination, function and thus is a

powerful tool for social change

Principle 2: Doctoral-level expertise in education is useful for all professionals

with significant pedagogical responsibilities, not just those in

school settings

Principle 3: An EdD is distinguished from a master’s degree by its emphasis on

continued scholarship into professional practice, not just proficiency in practice

Principle 4: The EdD is not an offshoot or a modification of the PhD but, rather, a

course of study having distinct purposes and learning outcomes, culminating in a

capstone assessment that reflects practice expertise
