EdD Harbour Centre Cohort (started Summer 2004)
The
doctoral program in Educational Leadership at Simon Fraser University is
designed for current and future educational
leaders working
or planning to
work in
various organizational
settings, but primarily schools, colleges, universities, and community services.
It culminates in a degree of the highest standard in the profession of education. The program offers a doctoral experience that extends well beyond a
classic administrative/organizational
focus. In working with peers and professors
to construct rich frameworks for understanding and enacting leadership, students
grapple with those aspects of educational leadership (e.g., curriculum, assessment,
pedagogy, policy, fiscal and political change, multiculturalism, diversity,
etc.) that today’s changing world demands. In so doing, philosophy,
socio-cultural-political and multicultural perspectives, and contemporary
technological considerations are explored. These are combined with in-depth
investigations of up-to-date research, state-of-the-art practices, and grounded
theory. The result we achieve forges knowledge with action. We aim for students
to study the practice of leadership within the context of education policy
and curriculum so that they can understand, critique, and reframe the contemporary
and emerging challenges and dilemmas facing Canadian education.
