78 RCDC Research Roots & Wings Roundtable 1: Using the GADE Quality Guidelines to Improve Doctoral Education

Schedule:
Friday, January 12, 2018: 9:45 AM-11:15 AM
Capitol (ML4) (Marriott Marquis Washington DC)
Speakers/Presenters:
Cynthia Franklin, PhD, University of Texas at Austin, Renee Cunningham-Williams, PhD, Washington University in Saint Louis, Liz Lightfoot, PhD, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Paula Nurius, PhD, University of Washington, Peter Maramaldi, PhD, Simmons College and Jelena Todic, University of Texas at Austin
The purpose of this roundtable, co-sponsored by SSWR’s Research Capacity Development Committee and the Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work (GADE), is to discuss how the GADE Quality Guidelines may lead to PhD program improvement and increase the quality of student outcomes of PhD program graduates. GADE created its Quality Guidelines to help in developing, monitoring, and evaluating PhD Programs. These are not prescriptive, but rather serve as aspirational guidelines that provide PhD programs with a set of educational practices that guide and enhance programs, including a specific emphasis on research development. This roundtable will provide an overview of these guidelines and examples of how students, in addition to faculty and program administrators, can use these to optimize doctoral education. Discussion will be focused on how the GADE Quality Guidelines can help engage doctoral students in their own research development. Participants will be encouraged to offer insights regarding how to apply these guidelines across a range of program-level priorities.
