Thinking about the Course The course is about.
In this course, you will develop a study as the capstone of your Education Specialist Degree. This study will be a comprehensive, summative work, where you will demonstrate graduate-level writing, research, and evaluation skills. You will also identify a question/problem and develop a solution/recommendation for your capstone study. Your final paper should be approximately 25 pages in length and should include scholarly resources and a synthesis of the knowledge gained in the degree program. This rigorous process will require you to submit high-caliber, scholarly writing, and strictly adhere to course deadlines. This is your chance to showcase your work throughout the program.
Note: these are the program outcomes most appropriate for the capstone:
- Prepare students to generate new knowledge or the reformulation of existing knowledge as a basis for the development of educational theory.
- Provide a graduate experience of reflective practice that is intellectually stimulating, professionally relevant, and that supports systematic decision making and problem solving around the key issues facing education.
Your final capstone assignment should identify possible solutions to your chosen issue/problem or determine if you need to do more research. Your solutions will be based on your particular area of interest, your problem statement, and your literature review. Based on these items, you may find a solution to be an intervention like a organizational change initiative, training, or a classroom based project. Alternatively, you may find that there is not yet enough research to solve for the problem and your project for this course may be the design of a research project that will assist in answering questions about the problem itself. Please keep this options in mind as you start to go through the course and don’t hesitate to contact your faculty to talk through potential solutions.
Educators must develop a profound understanding of the theories that undergird education and the fundamental strategies to meet the needs of all students. It is never too late for educators to focus on continuous quality improvement and the advancement of knowledge. Two of the ways we advance knowledge and improve practice is by engaging in research or demonstrating problem solving abilities based in theoretical knowledge.
