Program Overview<\/h2>\n

The Teachers, Schools, and Society (TSS) EdD program in Curriculum and Instruction reinvents doctoral-level education as innovative, job-embedded professional learning that supports educational leaders, change agents, and advocates in cultivating the skills of practitioner scholarship.<\/p>\n

The TSS EdD program is not intended to prepare educators for positions in research-intensive universities but instead supports practicing educational professionals as they draw on educational theory and research, and the expertise of colleagues and UF faculty, to identify, examine, and address pressing problems of practice in their unique contexts. TSS EdD students work full time as teachers, administrators, and other educational professionals as they engage in online coursework directly related to their work as educators.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”941bca35-9ee2-46da-b883-ccfcfb66c000″ header_2_font=”|300|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#194588″ header_2_font_size=”20px” header_3_text_color=”#CC4927″ header_3_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”26px||10px|||” custom_padding=”2px||28px||false|” global_colors_info=”{}”]In 2020, the TSS EdD program was named the Program of the Year by the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/curriculum-teaching\/files\/2025\/07\/CPED_2020_Program_of_the_Year-1024×615-1.jpg” title_text=”CPED_2020_Program_of_the_Year-1024×615″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
