| Abstract: | Upon discovering inequities and foundational issues with the previous practicum projects completed individually by each EdD student, Frostburg State University transformed its practicum into a consultancy-based group project that students complete remotely. In this revised experience, student teams respond to problems of practice as presented by community partners within diverse educational settings. This article explicates the structure, format, and process of the new practicum experience, describes how it aligns with CPED's guiding principles for program design, and provides rich benefits for EdD students and local educational organizations. We also explain how we have continued to revise the practicum to address challenges that have arisen. |
