Academic writing sample that demonstrates clear, logical, conceptual, and analytical thinking, as well as
the proper use of citations and references. For Ed.D. program. Papers written for graduate courses are
good academic writing samples; memos or reports, curriculum materials, and other practical writings are not.
Can meet the academic writing sample requirement by submitting a well-constructed essay of 10-12
double-spaced pages, identifying and discussing a challenge faced in the practice, organization,
community, or society in which they work. These challenges may include, among others:
meeting lifelong
learning needs of adults in the knowledge era; valuing and working with the diversity of adult learners;
crafting effective strategies for learning that take into account leadership; structural and cultural factors
in the groups, communities, or organizations in which adults live or work; using technology to meet
diverse adult learning needs; working with populations that have challenges with English as a first or
second language. Essay should achieve the following:
describe the challenge and the context in which it occurs;
discuss your role and that of other relevant stakeholders;
discuss the various positions that stakeholders take regarding the challenge, and the various options that can be exercised to address the
challenge;
identify and relate your discussion to selected relevant theories and research to build your
argument.
Pay attention to factors that underlie your thinking and judgments about this challenge, for
example, your beliefs and assumptions or those of others; and political, cultural, or other contextual
factors.
