The following are examples of the documentation or multimedia I developed during my pursuit of the Doctor of Education (EdD) in Leadership program at the American College of Education:

Dissertation

Coursework Documentation/Multimedia

The 18 different courses in the program I completed required extensive research, writing and developing multimedia all leading up to the completion and defense of my disseration. The following ares just a few examples:

Strategic plans will be developed to ensure that an organization is effectively and efficiently meeting the needs of stakeholders within and outside of the organization while meeting its goals and sustaining its values: Creating a Strategic Plan (LEAD6143, 2017)
• In this course, an assignment was to create a Concept Paper Defense Poster that might be presented to a dissertation committee (RES6033, 2017).
