Department of Language, Literacy, Ed.D., Exceptional Education, and Physical Education

The Department is a multi-campus academic unit, with faculty on all three campuses of the University of South Florida. The Department provides undergraduate, graduate, and in-service programs and learning experiences that reflect collaboration with stakeholders, incorporation of professional practice standards, and alignment with state, national, and international standards. The faculty and staff of the Department are committed to preparing lifelong learners who are ready to consider multiple perspectives, embrace diversity, equity, and advocacy, think critically, and make informed, evidence-based decisions.

The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) Program prepares practitioner scholars to serve as agents of change in their own institutions for diverse students, groups, and communities through a commitment to equity and social justice. We help prepare graduates to create, launch, and evaluate promising, sustainable change in their own professional settings. The program is open to P-12 and post-secondary educators in both formal and informal educational settings in the private sector, with nonprofits, or other government or service agencies. Courses, practice-based activities, and independent inquiry experiences prepare professional practice leaders to apply specific, appropriate practices to address real problems, generate new knowledge with application to problems of practice, and promote professional education practices in diverse environments. The EdD program has a strong practice-based inquiry component in preparing graduates to bring positive changes in their organizations and communities.
