== CPED stands for the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate. It is the first national effort to distinguish the Ed.D. from the Ph.D. Colleges and Universities who join the initiative examine and redesign the doctorate in education. This increases the quality of the doctoral experience for professionals who intend to be practitioners in the PK-12 schools, colleges, and universities. It will provide benchmarking, improve quality, and provide information to students about the doctoral programs through a public database so students can choose the degree and institution that will meet their professional needs. == == Phase I of the process involves a critical examination of the program. A definition of Ed.D. is established, along with guiding principles for development of professional preparation programs. Phase II involves research and development. The institution tests and refines findings regarding program development and practitioner outcomes. The result is a stronger doctoral program for those students seeking the Ed.D. or Ph.D. ==
