This course builds on the foundation level knowledge obtained in Methods of Inquiry (EDD 705A/B).  The course is designed to equip educators and researchers with the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate existing literature and conduct rigorous dissertation-level research in the K-U field of education.  The course will address quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research.  Participants will learn to design, implement and analyze a research project, including leadership implications, ethical considerations and practical application of research findings. Students will apply what they are learning toward a first draft of their dissertation proposal, including Chapter 3 (research methodology).   Students will share insights, references and resources with each other through formal discussion posts and scheduled Zoom sessions.
