It is Official: I am a "Doctor"!

Yesterday, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, completing a very rigorous, stimulating, and challenging three-year program. I am now the proud owner of a doctor of education degree in educational and organizational leadership. The program in which I was enrolled was a mid-career, cohort model in which educational leaders from across the country came together on weekends and in the summer to study and to discuss issues of both theory and practice. My dissertation, which focused on the experiences of parents of color at Calvert, is entitled Moving from Diversity to Community: Listening to Parents of Color at Calvert School. I am pleased to have "caught up" on the degree front to our Lower School Head, Dr. Ed Trusty!
