Sprouting: My First Year as a Doctoral Student

Abstract

The concept poster provides a learning journey timeline that shows who I am and what I have accomplished and learned thus far in the EdD program at UWSP. It showcases transformative learning moment that I experienced in courses, with my fellow cohort members, and overall as related to the program. The concept posters also outlines a general idea of a problem that I plan to center my research around. The problem presented is rural Midwest education access, the impact of educational experiences on cultural norms in rural Midwest, and the relation of environmental conservation to education level of rural Midwest areas. Incorporated into the concept poster are various educational and sustainability theories that will help guide my research. The concept poster is an overview of who I am, what I have learned, and where I am going within the EdD program.
