Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership - Curriculum and Instruction
by University of Phoenix
The Curriculum and Instruction specialization of the Doctor of Education
in Educational Leadership (Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction) program
will prepare learners to become instructional leaders who will
strategically manage and lead processes related to curriculum,
instruction, and assessment. Graduates will demonstrate both practical
and scholarly knowledge in their use of analytical, critical, and
innovative thinking to improve the performance of educational
institutions.
Historically, education has been a field of constant evolution and
debate, with the pull of philosophical, cultural, and political
influences felt throughout the industry. As such, contemporary educators
face challenges unlike those faced by their predecessors: Educational
leaders must design and facilitate learning in culturally diverse
classrooms; manage the needs of multiple stakeholders; develop their
classrooms, schools, and systems effectively and efficiently in the face
of severe funding pressures; address the demands of regulatory bodies;
and meet the outcomes established by the greater educational community.
As the education system undergoes these radical changes, there has been
a drastic increase in the need for leaders who are capable of designing
innovative curricular models in their institutions and of consistently
improving their students’ outcomes. The Curriculum and Instruction
specialization of the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership
program is offered by University of Phoenix to enable leaders to affect
these high levels of performance through applied scholarship, rigorous
analysis, and comprehensive evaluation methodology.
