Educational Doctorate Program Coordinators Named

I am pleased to announce that Bonnie Beyer, Professor of Education, and Chris Burke, Associate Professor of Education, have agreed to serve as co-coordinators of the School of Education’s Educational Doctorate program.

Both Bonnie and Chris have been active in shaping the program since its inception, and they have both taught and advised students in the first cohort. As we launch our second doctoral cohort this year we are fortunate that these two dedicated faculty members have agreed to take the helm, stepping in to succeed Gail Luera who skillfully led the program through the approval processes and through its first year of operation.

Professors Beyer and Burke bring a combination of talents and perspectives that are essential to nurturing the program and helping it serve well the needs and aspirations of our students. Professor Beyer’s expertise and research interests are rooted in administrative leadership. She has published in national and international journals, presented at state, national, and international conferences, and is the author of numerous journal publications, book chapters, and books. Burke’s expertise is rooted in curriculum and instruction, with particular attention to the teaching and learning of science. His qualitative research endeavors have resulted in multiple publications and numerous presentations.

Please join me in congratulating and supporting Bonnie and Chris as they undertake this important new leadership role in the school.
