Watertown, United States The Taft School Full time

About Taft:
Founded in 1890, The Taft School is a coeducational boarding and day school for students in grades 9 - post graduate. The school’s mission is to educate the whole student with an emphasis on the importance of not only academic achievement but also the development of integrity, service, and a lifelong love of learning. Taft maintains a strong belief in high academic standards, recognizing the importance of intellectual rigor as a foundation for success. Student wellness — ensuring that students are supported emotionally, physically, and mentally — is also at the forefront of the school’s work.

Academically talented students from as many as 50 different countries and 35 different states are guided by an extraordinary faculty on its beautiful 226-acre campus. Taft’s community includes approximately 495 boarding and 100 day-students, and an employee base of nearly 270, including approximately 135 faculty members.

The Opportunity:
Like many schools and non-profits, Taft has abundant information about students and all areas of school life. Qualitative and quantitative information exists throughout the school. There is also a growing interest in research to inform everything from course design and evaluation, to evaluating strengths and weaknesses of existing systems, to strategic planning at every level. Taft’s culture is already one in which faculty, staff, and students are eager to grow and learn, to ask probing, effective questions about whether and how we meet or exceed the goals we set for ourselves. Taft’s first Director of Institutional Research will build a critical new capability inside the school in service of more intentional planning and evaluation. It is critical that the Director is eager to understand the culture and norms of boarding school education and Taft in particular and is excited to be a full member of the Taft community.

Research and data should help leadership and the board assess enrollment strategy, the efficacy of programs and policies, student outcomes, and the school’s overall fulfillment of its mission. Ultimately, the Director of Institutional Research will be responsible for presenting data that supports informed decision making in the school’s strategic planning.

**Responsibilities**:

- Participate in institutional strategic planning and help monitor progress toward strategic goals.
- Collaborate with faculty, staff, and administrators on research projects and initiatives aimed at enhancing educational and institutional effectiveness, fostering a culture of data-informed decision-making across the institution.
- Support the dissemination, synthesis, and use of findings and data among stakeholders through written reports and briefings; facilitating strategic conversations among stakeholders.
- Design surveys and conduct quantitative and qualitative studies, collect and summarize data, and provide analysis and interpretation for planning, review, and decision-making.
- Ensure the integrity and privacy of all institutional data, adhering to best practices in data governance and security.
- Develop and monitor budgets and expenditures for institutional research.
