This is a handbook for doctoral students in the Ed.D. in Educational Studies Program at the University of Northern Colorado. We started to write it in the Fall of 2008, and will continue indefiniitely, as long as there is a doctoral program at the School of Teacher Education. Everyone can edit pages, and add new pages. Both students and faculty are welcome to share their findings and tips. SOme of the content is institution-specific, and some may be of interest to doc students in Education from other programs.

This started as class project, although we hope it will go beyond one class. The leader for now is User:Sidorkin.
