Perry, Jill Alexa & Carlson, David Lee. In Their Own Words: A Journey to the Stewardship of the Practice in Education. (Charlotte, NC: Information Age Publishing, 2013).
This edited book is a companion to The EdD and the Scholarly Practitioner: The CPED Path. It “tells the reader a story of transformation providing several narratives that describe each graduate’s progression through their doctoral studies.” The nature of study at the doctoral level is often not immediately apparent. Reading how others have navigated this new intellectual terrain and what they came to value as a result of their efforts, can be very helpful to those embarking on the doctoral process. Those who shared their stories exemplify the Scholar-Practitioner quality of ethical stewardship—contributing to the advancement of the profession. Their intellectual journeys can contribute to thinking about the Scholar-Practitioner quality of Metacognitive Reflection.
