Awards
The Glen Earthman Outstanding Dissertation Award
The International Society for Educational Planning recognizes outstanding dissertations related to all aspects of educational planning. The Society will consider dissertations leading to a terminal degree in 2021 and 2022 for the 2022 award. We encourage the submission of dissertations on any aspect of educational planning.
Dissertations that deal with planning and program implementation on the international, state/provincial, regional, local and individual school or building levels are welcomed. Individuals who have recently been conferred their doctoral degree may individually submit their dissertation for consideration. The chairperson of the dissertation committee or any member of the committee also may recommend a dissertation for consideration.
Individuals who are chosen for recognition will be asked to make a presentation of their findings at the annual meeting. In addition, these individuals will be asked to submit a manuscript to the Society’s journal, Educational Planning. An electronic version of the dissertation should be emailed to facilitate distribution to the committee for a double-blind review, with all identifying information removed. Complete identification including name, address, phone number, and email address should accompany the dissertation on a separate page. Deadline for submission is July 15, 2022. Individuals to be recognized will be notified no later than September 15, 2022. Interested candidates or nominees are encouraged to submit documents to:
