Doctoral Capstone · Harvard Ed.L.D.

Capstone Overview

From Election to Governance:
Designing Post-Election Support for Elected School Board Members

Evetty J. Satterfield, Ed.L.D., Harvard Graduate School of Education.

This capstone brings together three defining parts of my professional journey:

  • my service as an elected school board member,

  • my work as a leadership practitioner, and

  • my doctoral research at Harvard.
     

It examines how newly elected school board members move from campaigning to governing in environments that are complex, consequential, and high stakes from day one.
 

The project traces the full arc of that journey, from the questions that inspired the research to the practical tools designed to answer them.

If you're interested in following this work as it continues to develop, I would love to stay connected.
