Richmond, Virginia, United States Virginia Commonwealth University Full time

The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Education is seeking an innovative and experienced leader for the Department of Teaching and Learning with a July 1, 2024 start date (the start date is negotiable). This is a 12-month, tenured faculty position.

At VCU, we believe different perspectives and expertise enhance possibilities and solutions. This philosophy drives our recruitment process, so we welcome applicants with diverse experiences and backgrounds, who will contribute to an already diverse community of faculty, staff, and students.

The Department of Teaching and Learning blends top-tier, accredited programs in teacher education at the Baccalaureate and Master's levels, including elementary education and secondary education (English, STEM, and social studies). Our nationally-recognized faculty provide guidance and support, allowing students to fully explore their areas of interest. We provide the tools that help students examine, refine, and challenge the current methods and scholarship, and to use evidence-based research to develop their own. Department faculty work in varied disciplines: Literacy and Language Education, English Education, STEM Education, Social Studies Education, and TESOL and conduct interdisciplinary work across these disciplines. Our goal is to prepare our graduates to be leaders, ready to make a difference in people's lives. We work together with faculty, students, university colleagues and community partners to generate knowledge, investigate effective strategies, disseminate evidence-based practices, advocate for those we serve and promote exemplary programs.

Department faculty members are associated with the Ph.D. in Education with a concentration in Curriculum, Culture, and Change (CCC). The department offers Masters of Education programs in Curriculum & Instruction and Reading; Masters of Teaching with several concentrations, multiple B.S.Ed. programs, graduate certificates, and undergraduate minors. The department offers both
traditional and residency-based teacher preparation options. Faculty value interdisciplinary perspectives and methodologies, equity and social justice, and the preparation of teachers for success in urban and high-needs environments. Department faculty are involved in research activities and community-engaged partnerships designed to improve the lives of students and teachers in the Richmond-area and throughout national and international communities.

We offer an opportunity for a senior researcher/scholar to grow the reputation of the department and foster high-impact research and scholarship. As a senior leader, the chairperson reports directly to the Dean of the School of Education and is responsible for all aspects of department leadership and management. This includes strategic visioning and data-informed planning, faculty and staff development and evaluation, budget and human resource management, course scheduling, and policy implementation. Applicants with research, teaching and leadership work experience with an emphasis on urban education and demonstrated experiences in advancing access, equity, inclusive excellence, and success for students, faculty, and staff from historically marginalized and underrepresented populations in academia are encouraged to apply.
