Resources
Some resources I have found useful in my career as a researcher and professor
For Prospective Ph.D. Students
The Ph.D. or the Ed.D?
Vanderbilt’s Ph.D. Program in Educational Leadership and Policy - our program admits students by committee rather than to a specific advisor.
For Graduate Students
Jessica Calarco’s A Field Guide to Grad School
Fabio Rojas’ Grad Skool Rulz
Heather Haveman’s Advice for Ph.D. Students on her own website
Michelle Phelps’ compilation of advice

- On lesson planning/backwards design
- On Bloom's Taxonomy
- On syllabus design
How to mentor graduate students:
