CPED is a collaborative initiative in higher education focused on the Education Doctorate (EdD). Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the organization coordinates a broad network of institutions. More than 160 colleges and schools of education have committed resources to jointly examine the EdD, employing dialogue, experimentation, feedback, and evaluation to probe its design and implementation. CPED serves colleges and schools of education seeking to advance the EdD by pooling resources and expertise. Through dialog, experimentation, and critical feedback, it supports rigorous evaluation of EdD models and practices across participating institutions. The group operates as a small, purpose-driven organization within the higher education field, anchored in Pittsburgh.
