outstanding principals, and more. Across the first three cohorts, our faculty and students
have worked together to achieve a 76% completion rate for the Doctorate of Education
(Ed.D) degree to date. In our 4th Leadership for Learning Cohort, over 90% of students
completed on-time in Spring 2012. Additional students are continuing their studies and
