Program Description

The Doctor of Education (EdD) degree in Instructional Leadership prepares experienced educators to become effective practitioner leaders able to translate current research into policy and practice. The program prepares teacher leaders, department chairs, administrators, and other education professionals to transform K-12 education, driving better educational experiences and outcomes across larger systems. The program provides clinically-focused doctoral training and a deep grounding in educational practice research, particularly as it applies to urban settings and suburban settings with increasingly diverse student populations. Students develop the ability to synthesize and apply new research to improve students' educational experiences and outcomes and the skills to communicate their insights effectively as leaders in schools and communities.

About the School

Welcome to the Hunter College School of Education (SOE). Founded in 1870 as New York City’s first teacher-preparation school, Hunter continues its deep commitment to advancing our understanding and practice of education in an urban context and engaging our students as they prepare to enter increasingly complex diverse communities as professionals in education. Through research, teaching, and community engagement, SOE faculty, staff, and students make significant contributions to improving the lives of youth, families, and the community.

The Hunter College School of Education relies on strong partnerships in local schools and agencies to enhance the experience of our students. We believe our work is built on the strengths and assets of the dynamic urban community in which we live.
