MURFREESBORO — Teachers in pre-K
through 12th grades who are interested in MTSU's new education doctoral program
will have two free opportunities to learn more at information sessions
scheduled on campus this month.
Dr. Rick Vanosdall, interim director of the university's program for Doctor
of Education in Assessment, Learning and Pre-K-12 School Improvement degrees,
will present information and answer questions on Monday, Oct. 7, and Tuesday,
Oct. 22, beginning at 5 p.m. each session.
Each session will be held in Room 202A of MTSU's College of Education
Building. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 615-898-2995 or
emailing EdD@mtsu.edu.
The program, also known as the Ed.D. in ALSI, is the first of its kind in
Tennessee and aims to help pre-K through 12th grade improve their students’
academic achievement.
It launched this fall and targets all levels of pre-K through 12th grade educational
leaders, including teacher-leaders, administrators, district office personnel,
policy makers, policy advisers and staff members of philanthropic and
not-for-profit agencies focused on school improvement.
The new doctorate
will train educators to analyze student-learning data and pinpoint areas of
success as well as areas in need of attention. MTSU also offers doctoral
degrees in economics, English, human performance, literacy studies, molecular
biosciences, computational science, public history, and mathematics and science
education.
MTSU’s
College of Education also coordinates the literacy studies doctoral program.
The mathematics and science-education program in the College of Basic and
Applied Sciences focuses on K-12 math and science teacher training.
Applicants
for the new education doctoral program must have earned a master’s degree and
“be in a position to effect immediate pre-K-12 school improvement and gains in
student learning,” according to program specifications.
