Job Description

CRUCIAL COMPETENCIES
Our Dean of Students will blow the following four crucial competencies* out of the water:

Driving for Results:

Our Dean of Students will have a strong desire to help create and nourish the environment that supports outstanding student learning results and the task-oriented actions required for success.

Our Dean of Students will set high goals for themselves and their students, making persistent, well-planned efforts to achieve these goals despite barriers and resistance; holding others accountable for doing their part to achieve results; and putting in all the extra effort necessary to ensure success.


Influencing for Results:

Our Dean of Students will motivate others-students, staff colleagues, and families-and influence their thinking and behavior to obtain outstanding student learning results.

Our Dean of Students will understand that they cannot accomplish change alone, but instead must influence the work of others.

They will use a variety of influencing moves-inspiring students, nurturing ridiculously joyful AND rigorous schoolwide culture, grasping and responding to unspoken student needs and motivations, and simultaneously supporting and prodding colleagues to collaborate on the path to schoolwide success-as the situation requires.

The relationships they will form are for the purpose of influencing others to enhance student learning, not just for the purpose of personal bonding.


Problem-Solving:

Our Dean of Students will be LASER FOCUSED on planning, organizing, and delivering high quality supports for the school and the specific students in their care.

They will work through any challenge and overcome any obstacles to ensure that all students demonstrate dramatic student achievement gains and develop their social-emotional skills.


Personal Effectiveness:

Our Dean of Students will exhibit flexibility and optimism when faced with stressful, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar situations; maintain confidence in themselves and a willingness to keep improving despite the many challenges of their role; actively embrace the constant changes needed to ensure student learning in high-challenge situations; and hold and maintain a strong belief in the human potential for learning and improvement, despite significant societal pressures to settle for less.

Our Dean of Students will see themselves as a SCHOOLWIDE colleague oriented around solutions and being proactive in their engagements.
