Doctoral Research Writing

Paper Masters has a large pool of writers with their PhD. These writers can help make the daunting task of enbarking on doctoral research and writing manageable. We have helped thousands of clients through their doctoral programs and understand what it takes to successfully submit research at the doctorate level. One of the first steps we advise a candidate to outline is a doctoral development plan. 

When developing the Doctoral Development Plan Research Paper, keep in mind your mission as you consider the experiences you bring to your doctoral studies. For example:

1. Academic coursework in a secondary content field
2. Professional presentations
3. Seminars
4. Workshops
5. Training
6. Volunteer activities
7. Prior experiences designing and executing research .
8. Publications and other writing experiences
9. Teaching assignments
10. Observations of learning and teaching
11. Administrative projects and responsibilities
12. Academic strengths and areas for development
13. Research strengths and areas for development
14. Experience with library ,reference ,and information technology resources.

Your Doctoral Development Plan Research Paper must be organized as Parts One and Two. Following is an overview of the requirements:

Description of Educational Background:

Part One of the DDP provides an opportunity to review and reflect upon the diversity of educational experiences that have brought you to this point in your career.

Address the academic and research proficiency you bring to the program and areas you wish to improve while pursuing your doctoral studies. Provide a personal evaluation of your readiness to engage in research and a doctoral exit project.

Note: Each of the above areas may be condensed to form subheadings in your narrative.

Description of Personal Professional Goals and Plans for Residency:

Part Two: You will examine your personal and professional goals and their relationship to Walden's mission and the attainment of a doctoral degree. Pay careful attention to how you cite your goals. This section will provide direction for your Doctoral Study and assist the Faculty Chair in determining the best possible mentor for your goals. If the academic interests and selected field of study [Education Leadership] are not addressed, the DDP will be considered incomplete and not acceptable.

Within this section:
