Educational Leadership (EdD)
In the 21st century, such efforts to disrupt and dismantle require investments in self-and community-healing, community grounded approaches, centering ancestral knowledges, Black and Indigenous-centric theories, and a commitment to praxis (or a linking of critical reflection and action). Towards the goal of preparing leaders to sustain healing approaches to familial, local, regional, and global traumas, UW Tacoma's Ed.D. aims to cultivate leaders who incorporate de-colonial, social justice, and antiracist approaches to imagine and build educational structures and systems.
The Ed.D. program is a three-year, non-traditional cohort format that enables currently employed educational leaders and practitioners to pursue a doctoral degree. Class sessions meet one weekend approximately once per month with digital learning in between.
