LEAD 7902 Leader Learner Community
The Leader Learner Community, a signature concept of the EdD in Leadership program at William Paterson University, brings together teams of 3-5 doctoral candidates with similar career interests to support and challenge one another under the egis of a faculty mentor from the candidates’ first semester in the program through the dissertation process.
Whether doctoral candidates intend to remain in a current leadership position, grow into other leadership positions within the profession, or change professions entirely, ongoing professional learning through reciprocal peer mentoring along with the guidance of seasoned professionals is of tremendous value. Simultaneously, the development of deep knowledge of theoretical constructs of leadership and their application to specific fields of practice is essential to growth and advancement. The Leader Learner Community (LLC) assumes that both experienced faculty mentors and fellow candidates are experts and shareholders in the lifecycle of professional leading and learning. Faculty mentors will engage candidates in developing their expertise in the application of research to practice, the analysis of professional literature, and scholarly writing.
Candidates will take LEAD 7902 during the first semester in the program (summer of year 1) and will repeat it during the summers that start years 2 and 3. During the summer semesters that start years 2 and 3, LEAD 7902 will be the forum in which candidates will demonstrate their degree of mastery of program competencies before a panel of faculty and scholar practitioners to continue in the program. Candidates will maintain an electronic portfolio of their work throughout the program and will present it to the panel along with a detailed reflection upon their development of the 19 program competencies. Panelists will pose questions and share feedback on candidates’ areas of strengths and those that should be focused upon for improvement. Candidates who do not demonstrate the requisite level of development in any area of competency will be required to engage in a specified process toward improvement and ultimately demonstrate competence in order to continue in and graduate from the program.
This class will be repeated three times (Summer of year 1, year 2 and Year 3). Prerequisite(s): Permission Required

LEAD 8300 Dissertation:Scholarship In Practice
The Dissertation: Scholarship in Practice (DSIP) is a scholarly endeavor that impacts a complex problem of practice. A complex problem of practice is a persistent, contextualized, and specific challenge embedded in the practice of a professional leader/practitioner. Addressing this complex problem of practice through research and collaboration has the potential to result in improved understandings, experiences, and outcomes in the candidate’s practice or anticipated practice.
Candidates will be given the opportunity to design and complete the DSIP in three semesters (Summer III, Fall III and Spring III) through inquiry, seminars, independent study, and on-line synchronous and asynchronous participation in collaboration with their colleagues and professors. During the research process, both qualitative and quantitative data will be used to support the research and candidates will demonstrate their ability to gather, organize, judge, aggregate, and analyze situations, literature, and data with a critical lens. The design of the candidate’s DSIP may take on a variety of scholarly practitioner formats and include the use of media.
In LEAD 8300 (3 credits), candidates will meet as a cohort in a course with an assigned faculty instructor. The goal of LEAD 8300 is the successful defense of the dissertation proposal. Prerequisite(s): Completion of all core courses in the program.
