Why a Doctorate

I have been interested in improving my teaching and seeing better student learning outcomes for many years. I have introduced active learning as well as technology into all of my courses, usually overhauling my courses every two years. Several years ago I attended a faculty workshop on campus that included Professor Bob Burns of the School of Education. After a number of discussions with Bob, I realized that getting an EdD in Learning & Instruction was incredibly appealing and just what I was looking for in terms of improving my teaching. Having been recently divorced and with both of my children out of the house and off to college, I decided to enroll into the doctoral program - and I am glad I did. No regrets!
