The School of Education & Counseling Psychology
seeks a Tenure-Track Assistant or Associate Professor of
Educational Leadership whose expertise, experience, teaching,
advising, mentoring and scholarship is in the area of K-12
Administration and/or Social Impact Leadership. We embrace
a teacher-scholar model of faculty engagement, and so place equal
weight on high quality teaching and scholarship. Faculty in the
Educational Leadership program all teach and advise students in
both the MA and EdD programs and serve as dissertation supervisors
as part of their teaching assignment. The appointment would start
on September 1, 2022.
The Education Department, and the Educational
Leadership program within it, has a racially and ethnically diverse
faculty and student body, and a strong commitment to preparing
educators who are devoted to responding to the needs of all
children and families. The Educational Leadership program is
experiencing substantial growth and investment from the university.
Silicon Valley is a region with high levels of racial, ethnic and
linguistic diversity and also high levels of economic inequality.
We successfully prepare school and system-level leaders in the
Silicon Valley with a strong focus on social justice, grounded in
our Jesuit mission and values. Our graduates are prepared to
address educational inequities and make a substantive difference in
the educational experiences of children and youth in the Valley.
Our new EdD in Social Justice Leadership embodies this mission and
vision. We are seeking a scholar-practitioner who shares our
mission and vision of education as a tool for social justice.
We are seeking a colleague who fully embraces our
mission and seeks to actively carry it out in each facet of the
position. Specifically, four commitments ground the mission of the
Department of Education:
- Cura personalis, or the care for and growth of the whole person, which informs not just how we teach our students, but also how we expect our students to engage their own constituents;
- Social justice and anti-racism, along with the pursuit of educational equity through the preparation of leaders;
- Transformation through the development of our students into equity-oriented leaders and agents of change; and
- Diversity of faculty and students, who enrich educational settings, our Educational Leadership program and scholarly research through their critical voices and perspectives.
- Earned PhD or EdD in Education or related field, or plans to complete the degree by the time of appointment.
