CORE ASSUMPTIONS
This Ph.D. Program
attracts those professionals who share the core beliefs that shape the
Program's mission:
1.
Effective
educational reforms might best be accomplished by
the enhancement of existing institutions.
2.
The leaders of these
reforms should be experienced and reflective professionals who are guided
by the history of American education, but not confined by it.
3.
Past and present educational
practices must be carefully evaluated, in order to refine some and replace
others.
4.
Blueprints for
educational improvement and reform should be shaped by previous research on
educational theory and practice.
All new programs should be systematically evaluated.
