Dean for the School of Education

Central Connecticut State University (CCSU, Central) seeks a new Dean for the School of Education (SOE) who is academically accomplished, student-focused, innovative, and energetic. The successful Dean has a proven track record of building students' capacity to live, work, and contribute to the P-20 landscape of their community, state, and increasingly diverse world. The Dean will shape and lead the SOE with exemplary management skills; foster collaborative and data- informed fiscal and facilities planning, execution, and accountability; advance CCSU's mission driven purpose; and enhance the University's campus culture.

CCSU seeks an experienced leader who will report to the Provost. The Dean will lead inclusive and transparent strategic processes for strengthening and growing the SOE; promote innovative, engaging, and student-centered approaches to teaching, research, development, and service. The Dean of the SOE must be a bold and effective spokesperson for the value of the entire education pipeline (P-20). This comes at a time when the state of Connecticut and the nation continues to experience teacher shortages as well as the challenges that come with such scarcities.

CCSU is a unionized campus. The seasoned professional is expected to uphold the highest ethical standards and embrace the benefits of inclusive shared governance, and in doing so, will enhance trust and transparency while building community. The successful Dean will attend to the important operational matters that make continued excellence and growth possible and ensure faculty, staff, and students work, create, and succeed within the school and university structures. The Dean will work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, as appropriate. The Dean will advocate for all programs and units within the School, ensuring academic quality in undergraduate and graduate programs as well as meeting the standards of external accrediting agencies for all academic programs. Collaborating with the Division of Enrollment Management, the Dean will oversee and help achieve recruitment and retention goals for the SOE. Additionally, the Dean is expected to provide opportunities for faculty and staff development.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have experience working with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) and/or relevant experience with current educator certification regulations. The candidate will also have the credentials, competencies, and disposition necessary to provide leadership and guidance in implementing existing, new, and interdisciplinary academic and professional programs. Additionally, the successful candidate should have demonstrated experience in academic leadership (i.e., overseeing an academic unit college/school), promotion and tenure process, and budget management.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, have demonstrated the ability to work collaboratively with faculty, students, staff, other administrators, and community members; a commitment to academic excellence and accountability; an ability to work with faculty to continue to develop, articulate, and implement a constructive and workable vision for the SOE; and a record of demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

More information, including an institutional profile with a full list of responsibilities and preferred qualifications, is available here.
