Doctoral Mentorship

The doctoral program calls for the formation of a collaborative partnership among the doctoral student, a mentor from the University's doctoral faculty, and the employer of the doctoral student. The purpose of this partnership is to utilize the resources of the doctoral student and the University in addressing a specific dimension of the school building or district organization, and to redesign that piece of the organization to enhance the overall systemic function of the building/district. Throughout the mentorship process, regular, ongoing communication among the three members of the partnership will assure continuity in the various stages of program development. This process should take between 12 and 15 months.
