  • Modification Comments*
    The revision of EDSI 9901 is necessary after studying the progression of Doctor of School Improvement students for the past five years. Many students have difficulty successfully progressing through the program. The common reasons for difficulties include lack of alignment in their proposed research, understanding the necessary quality and rigor of doctoral level research, lack of proficiency in academic writing, and difficulty in synthesizing research components into a comprehensive dissertation proposal plan. The revision of EDSI 9901 addresses the identified problems. We expect this change to better support students to be able to progress successfully through the research/dissertation elements of the program. Currently, students are required to enroll in the next scheduled class, even when they are clearly not ready. By allowing students to repeat this course one time for credit if needed, it will provide additional support to build the necessary skills to produce a better quality dissertation/research product.
