Letter of Intent
This brief document serves as my letter of intent to apply to your prestigious doctoral program. The important and necessary items that will be covered in this document include my motivations for earning a doctoral degree, what I envision doing differently when my degree is complete, the topic or topics that I have on my mind when it comes to my Direct Practice Improvement project and where I plan to do most of my practice hours. While there are a few places that I could go for my doctoral program, your university is the one that clearly stands out above the rest.
When it comes to why I am getting my doctoral degree, I happen to know that many to most people really do not need a doctoral degree to advance within their field or so their job. However, there are certain positions in certain fields that require or at least encourage people to get a doctorate. For the most part, those positions are academic and high-end leadership in nature. I might do the former when I move forward in my career and my life but I know I wish to achieve the highest echelons of nursing leadership...
I am not naive enough to think that the doctorate will just open a lot of doors for me. I know I will still have to learn, grow, expand and develop independent and beyond what a doctorate degree from your university would do for me. Even so, a solid foundation of education, best practices and habits will get me on the right path a lot quicker and there are some qualification sand experiences, such as a doctorate, that very few people attain and use. In short, it is not a fix-all or something that will just get me where I want to be overnight. However, a doctorate would be a huge part of helping me along the way and gets me started on the right foot.
A lot of what I would do differently after I complete my doctorate is already known and apparent to me. Indeed, I know enough to know about many best practices, the use of evidence-based practice, proper academic research, the important duality of validity and reliability and so forth. However, I also know that a doctorate would help me perfect…
In conclusion, I wish to thank any reviewers and judges of my stated goals and qualifications for any and all consideration that you give me. I whole-heartedly wish to attend your wonderful college and I look forward to integrating myself into the processes that would be to come. At the same time, I fully understand and realize that my acceptance into the same is by no means guaranteed or assured and I'm humble enough to know that I should not assume I'm going to be brought on. Regardless, I know that my dreams will not be deterred and I just hope that your institution is part of my future. Thanks again for your time.

Schools and Education Over the last several years, the field of education has been facing tremendous challenges. This is because of shifts in how they address a host of issues and there are changing demographics of students. These are all signs of broader social implications which are having an effect on individual performance and their ability to adapt with a variety of situations. (Rury, 2013) Evidence of this can be seen with
It raises the need for both written and verbal communication skills to reach an optimum level that can persuade and cajole. It is believed by many experts that this economic role will become more important in future years and that in order to achieve the status of superintendent, a candidate will have to display some experience or education in that field to ensure board members that he or she is
In suburban areas, on the other hand, the economic opportunities are diverse and the population is less dense. Here parents are motivated to educate their child and the child gets higher individual attention from the teachers than those in the urban areas where population density is very high (Broomhall and Johnson, 1994; and Hanson and Ginsburg, 1988). Since educational aspirations of parents, students and teachers differ by population density
They predict age and gender variations relate to bullying concerns. Of the 25 cartoons implemented in the study, two depict characters with different shades of skin color where skin color appeared to be an issue. One cartoon relating to sexual orientation was not used in several countries. Smith et al. report Olweus to assert bullying to be characterized by the following three criteria: 1. It is aggressive behavior or intentional
These issues of professionalism and innovation seem to be a major problem in many public schools in America. In recent years these issues have come to light as teachers have been disciplined and even fired for their interactions with students that have been unprofessional and even criminal at times. Teachers have an ethical responsibility to act professionally and when they fell to do so the ability of students to
It appears that the combination of bullying, treatment as an outcast and a propensity or obsession with violent images resulted in school violence. In addition to such factors and social hierarchy and bullying, mental illness is often one of the issues that perpetrators suffer with. In the most recent and severe case of school violence, the Virginia Tech Shootings, it appears that the gunman (Seung-Hui Cho) suffered from mental illness
