Meet Gardner-Webb University\u2019s Dr. Jennifer Putnam, and experience her background and passion for training masters and doctoral education candidates.<\/p>\n

What programs do you teach at Gardner-Webb University? What drew you to this field of study? What keeps you excited about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I teach doctoral candidates in the Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction<\/a> (EDCI) program. I am a life-long educator, and I love watching candidates learn and grow in their\u00a0field of study. It is exciting to see them\u00a0develop as leaders, and it is even more exciting to see how their degrees take them in new directions after they graduate.<\/p>\n

How will your program better prepare\/equip educators for the current climate we\u2019re in (specifically with the move into post-COVID teaching)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of our courses are\u00a0practitioner-based,\u00a0meaning that candidates\u00a0identify issues in their sites or districts where they\u2019d like to make a positive difference. The evidences\u00a0candidates complete each semester aid them in improving instructional practices at the site and district-level.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to Gardner-Webb University to teach at? What sets them apart?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00a0absolutely love the cohort model we\u2019ve adopted. It is so enriching to work with the same candidates for several years, as they earn their doctorates. Because of our small class sizes, we get to know the students very well, and we celebrate their successes as they happen.<\/p>\n

What is your professional background as an educator?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a B.A. Master\u2019s Degree in Elementary Education, and an Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years, moved into an instructional coach position, and then to the Elementary Science Content Coordinator for the district. I served as an adjunct, teaching undergraduate candidates at another institution for ten years.<\/p>\n

I came to Gardner-Webb in 2013. I have served as the Coordinator for the Master\u2019s of Teacher Leadership in Curriculum & Instruction<\/a>, and now serve as both the Coordinator of\u00a0the Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction and the Associate Dean for the College of Education.<\/p>\n

Tell us a little about yourself. Why did you become interested in education?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love to learn! So, it was natural that I would become an educator. The Ed.D. candidates teach me as much as I teach them!<\/p>\n

What would you tell prospective students considering your program about yourself? What\u2019s something that students and colleagues should know about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m here for you! It can be scary that first day of a doctoral program, but it doesn\u2019t take long for friendships to be cemented, and for candidates to realize\u00a0that all the professors really want them to succeed.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you would like to share?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The professors in the EDCI program truly understand that the candidates they serve are working professionals. For that reason, we are available in the evenings and weekends, when candidates have time to ask questions, etc.<\/p>\n

Our program is designed so that candidates can work ahead when they have time, and can also see all the upcoming assignments so that they can plan their time. No one is going to say that earning a doctorate is easy, but we have put procedures in place to provide support all along the way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
