Educational leadership faculty model collaboration through interdisciplinary Ed.D. courses
Faculty members Joel Malin, professor, and Michael Evans, associate professor, from the Department of Educational Leadership, are fostering collaboration and innovation through the university’s Ed.D. program. This semester, the two designed their courses, Education Policy and Qualitative Research, to intersect at key points, allowing students to experience the power of interdisciplinary learning firsthand.
As part of this initiative, the faculty co-hosted Dr. Eugene Blalock, superintendent of North College Hill City Schools and a Miami University alumnus, who shared how he uses research to guide and sustain innovative change within his district. The discussion provided a real-world perspective on how educational leaders can apply research to inform effective policy and practice.
The program is offered in a hy-flex format, with students participating both in person and remotely from locations including Columbus, Michigan, and New York.
