Educational Leadership program in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development has offered a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree since 1982. The program serves educators in Northern New England and beyond who seek a deeper understanding of K-12 schools, school districts, state and national policy, and leadership practice. Our unique cohort model is 100% online, bringing together scholarly practitioners from diverse backgrounds, who support each other in addressing their own individual problems of practice. Our classes meet synchronously via video meeting platforms, allowing students to learn from their office or home. The Educational Leadership faculty are well-versed in the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary schools and communities. They bridge the gap between theory and practice to support students on their own journeys of addressing the the social, political, cultural, spatial and organizational contexts of K-12 schools, and making informed decisions using their laboratories of practice. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-27179_8d7602-a8
