S2 EP09 – Challenges and Rewards of Earning a Doctorate While Leading Schools

The Leadership Talks Podcast has highlighted a variety of stories and perspectives so far brought forward by colleagues involved in different aspects of the education ecosystem. We are pleased to be able to offer a conversation with Dr. Emily Caruso Parnell, who pursued doctoral-level studies while working as a school administrator with the Rainbow District School Board and has since transitioned to teaching full-time at Laurentian University.

While Emily originally thought she was presenting the topic of doctoral studies as an idea for someone else to discuss, she nonetheless has joined us to share  some practical information regarding time management, the logistics of the dissertation process, and the process of choosing a supervisor as well as some commentary on personal challenges and valuable learning experiences.
