Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) seeks a collaborative, innovative, and visionary leader to serve as Dean of the School of Education.
Dean, School of Education
The IUB School of Education (SoE), consistently ranked among the top education schools in the U.S., has developed a strong national and international reputation for academic and scholarly excellence and for preparing reflective, caring, and highly skilled practitioners and scholars who go on to inform educational theory and practice, and effect change locally and globally.
Today, the School continues on an exciting trajectory, developing cutting-edge research, learning, and practice to improve the quality of education throughout the P-20 continuum; expanding innovative initiatives to strengthen and extend global impact; and offering a premier teacher preparation program.
Working in collaboration with an exceptional faculty, staff, student body, alumni, and community partners, the Dean will provide strategic leadership to advance the academic and scholarly activities of the School, embracing its commitment to preparing teachers and school leaders, and enabling innovative research on teacher preparation, curriculum, teaching and learning in all contexts, methodology, policy/law, counseling/psychology, higher education/student affairs, and administration. The new Dean must be sensitive to the breadth of activities within the School of Education, engaging all stakeholders and implementing a shared vision. The Dean will ensure the effective management of a robust administrative structure to support the advancement of all School of Education activities.
With strong support and collaboration from across Indiana University and the Bloomington campus, and in concert with the University’s IU 2030 strategic plan, the next dean will have an exceptional opportunity to advance the School’s impact in the state of Indiana and beyond, and to extend its national leadership position in the field of education.
