Capstone Seminar II

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

The Ed.D. in Leadership and Learning in Organizations is designed to prepare students to skillfully combine people and resources to facilitate organizational learning and improvement. As the culminating academic experience in the LLO program, the capstone project challenges students to integrate what they have learned in Ed.D. coursework, to demonstrate mastery of content, and to apply it in a disciplined way to an organizational context. As part of the capstone project, students establish a relationship with a focal organization, other than their own, to address questions or problems of practice related to organizational performance and improvement. In Capstone Seminar II, student complete work begun in Capstone Seminar I, finishing data analysis, intervention design, design of the program evaluation of the intervention's effects, and write the capstone paper. All work draws on LLO coursework along with their own independent research to produce a final capstone paper that is presented to faculty in Campus Convening III. [3]
